Mai Chisamba films show in Byo

- Bongani Ndlovu Showbiz Correspond­ent

POPULAR ZBCtv talk show host Rebecca Chisamba, popularly known as Mai Chisamba, will be in Bulawayo tomorrow to record episodes of her show at the Large City Hall. In an advertisem­ent on ZBCtv, Mai Chisamba invited residents of Bulawayo to come and be part of the live recording.

“On Wednesday, October 19, the Mai Chisamba show will be at the Large City Hall to record episodes of the show from 10AM. Come let’s discuss topics such as corruption, divorces and road traffic safety together,” she said.

Mai Chisamba last recorded her programme in Bulawayo two years ago. The response from followers was overwhelmi­ng as they packed the Rainbow Cinemas.

The response prompted Mai Chisamba at that time, to consider using a larger venue for her next recording. This is why she has settled for the Large City Hall as the ideal venue.

The Mai Chisamba show airs every Sunday at 9PM after the main news at 8PM. Mai Chisamba, a decorated television personalit­y and a teacher by training, has scooped numerous awards for her role as the executive producer and host of the premier Mai Chisamba talk show.

The show tackles topical issues that affect the modern Zimbabwean society.

A mother of five and a grandmothe­r of two, Mai Chisamba has been honoured for upholding traditiona­l African values and local languages, and for using the mass media effectivel­y in advocating for a gender balanced society.

With a bubbly personalit­y, the conservati­onist has in the past paid homage to her family and husband, Arnold Chisamba, for their unstinting support in the face of fame that comes with challenges to her personal life — @ bonganinku­nzi.
