Standard People
BY SIMBARASHE MANHANGO IT’S New Year and, as usual, people make resolutions that will guide them throughout the year. Standard Life&Style writer Simbarashe Manhango spoke to some of the country’s celebrities to find out their plans for 2011.

Alexio Kawara, urban groover.         “My chief resolution for the coming year will be focusing more on live performances that would attract more audiences and pave way for more opportunities in this industry and try to quit drinking so that I can ‘perfect’ my voice”.

Samantha Dika, Miss Harare Tourism 2010 “I don’t have New Year’s resolutions; the reason is that I believe whatever needs to be implemented, can be done at any time of the year. Rather the New Year represents a period of reflection, a time to evaluate and see how you have progressed over the past year and set out objectives for the coming year. By so doing, you account for unforeseen turn of events and the cropping up of opportunities. Resolutions “to me” do not leave that room to be flexible”.

Enock Munhenga aka XQ urban groover “My resolutions for 2011 are to successfully complete our album entitled Expandable that I am working on with the pioneers of urban grooves music, which include Plaxedes Wenyika, Decibel, Alicias Musimbe (Maskiri) and many other artists.
