Amahembe Movement to take over Mtubatuba

- Wellington Makwakwa

It’s all about vintage shirts this festive season. Zululander­s will be dressing up in colourful, printed shirts during the Amahembe Movement event at Lulu’s BnB in Mtubatuba on Saturday from 12pm to 6am on Sunday.

Headed by local master of spin, DJ Makokorosh, the aim is to take locals back to the magical time of the 90s when bright shirts ruled the fashion industry.

This movement began when Makokorosh started wearing vintage shirts to all his gigs.

Zululander­s then joined the movement and started rocking up in similar shirts at top events across the region.

‘I love vintage shirts and love to wear them on weekends. I found the audience also loved it when I wore the shirts and that inspired the unique concept.

The local muso is known for producing hit after hit, and having an incredible ear for good music.

He is known for many hit songs, including his collaborat­ion with DJ Bongz on a compositio­n

Kwaze Kwamnandi, and for working with Amenisto of

Imihlola kaTira.

Over the years, Makokorosh has been climbing the music charts, receiving positive reviews and recognitio­n nationwide.

He has featured musicians such as Sibah, and also composed a song with television personalit­y Jabulani Shandu eMatshana titled Wozaa.

This young entertaine­r is also one of few local performers who conducts motivation­al seminars for youngsters and assists other talented youth in the world of music.

His motivation includes encouragin­g young people to never give up on their dreams and to work hard.
