“It is really an honour to be recognised by my own people. As Africans we have been accused of embracing and supporting foreign artists whilst looking down on the locals. There has been a shift and I am really proud of that,” said Ncube.
“There are a lot of issues which the continent needs to know about Zimbabwe because people who aren’t from my country only know about President Robert Mugabe. They don’t know that people in Zimbabwe actually fall in love, they love farming and they have stories of hope. It’s not just a bunch of political things,” said Ncube.
Other acts include David Kibuuka of South Africa, Basketmouth of Nigeria, Salvado of Ugand, Eric Omondi of Kenya and Kagiso Legida of South Africa.
Ncube is at the peak of his career and has been getting much exposure since he committed himself to being a full time comedian. Towards the end of last year he did a tour of some American cities and performed at the hub of comedy, the Gotham Comedy Club in New York.
