Vambe is currently the band leader of the Mhende Dance Troup from Masvingo, home of the Great Zimbabwe Ruins monument. “He has been listed by UNESCO on its World Intangible System list,” said a top historian in an exclusive interview with The Zimbabwean on Sunday.
“Lawrence Vambe has done not only himself but the whole country very proud. We must all congratulate him.” Vambe performs at major local and international functions in Zimbabwe and abroad wearing African attire worn during the days before Independence in 1980. His most popular dance is the famous “Mhende Dance” from Masvingo Province which has become his band’s name.
