Winky D’s October: A month-long declaration of dominance

Legendary for its massive, electric crowds and demanding energy, the Gafa will share the stage with international Jamaican stars Chris Martin and Busy Signal.

October 2025 isn't just a month on the calendar for Winky D — it's a four-week declaration of his enduring reign in Zimbabwean music. The "Gafa" is set for a grueling itinerary across the nation's biggest festivals, stretching his stamina while solidifying his legacy as the ultimate headliner.

His intense run kicked off last night at the Chibuku Road to Fame grand finale.

This event, a cornerstone for nurturing grassroots talent, provided a powerful opening contrast to Winky D's superstar status.

The pressure ramps up the following Saturday at the notorious Kadoma Music Festival.

Legendary for its massive, electric crowds and demanding energy, the Gafa will share the stage with international Jamaican stars Chris Martin and Busy Signal. This festival has become an essential annual October fiesta.

A week later, on October 18, the magnitude remains enormous, though the mood shifts slightly, for the Castle National Braai. Often described as Zimbabwe's biggest outdoor food and music festival, this event will demand a performance that is both celebratory and communal.

The final assault of the month will arrive on October 25 with a highly anticipated show in Bindura. This closing act will be the ultimate test of Winky D's endurance, following his packed schedule, as he performs for a dedicated fan base that has patiently waited for the Gafa for a long time.
