The gig, pencilled for October 14 at the Harare International Conference Centre, will see the Grammy award winners share the stage with Zimdancehall president Winky D, MC Templeman and Garry B.
In an interview with The Standard Style yesterday, 2 Kings public relations officer Samuel Mukondo confirmed the development, saying all was in place for the Royal Family of Reggae’s debut.
“I can safely say we did our homework and we planned with the Morgan Heritage management, created a mutual understanding as well as a working relationship and they are excited to come to Zimbabwe,” said Mukondo.
The ensemble, which is embarking on an extensive tour of Africa dubbed The Strictly Roots Africa Tour, will start with Zimbabwe.
“We are the first country to confirm on their African tour and as 2 Kings, we deliver to our promise and we listen to our fans’ requests,” he said.
