Roy n Royce shed tears on Valentine’s Day
TALENTED urban grooves twins, Roy and Royce Gomo, have bounced back.
Having risen to fame with their singles Handirege and Zuva Rangu in 2002, the two went on to release a 12-track debut album Gogogoi.
In the past years, the twins had gone low, only releasing singles for visibility.
And on Valentine’s Day, the twins surprised many when they released another single titled Misodzi.
In the song, they are telling a lover that they are having a dream in which they see her lying to them and causing them extreme pain as she is cheating.
They tell the lover that she should come clean and walk out instead of causing them pain.
In the song, they say they have tried to ignore and appear as if nothing is happening, but it’s not helping.
Having released hits such as Ndochema, Tenda, Ndiyambuke as well as Ndimwi Munamasimba, the twins’ last project was the single Hukama in 2017, which was featured on Clive “Mono” Mukundu’s collection Anatha 8.
Before that, they had released Zvoita Kunge in the same year.
After releasing their last album Ndimi in 2005, Roy relocated to Namibia and Royce found a base in South Africa.
SERENA Williams wants to win more Grand Slams but hardly needs the all-time record for validation, her coach Patrick Mouratoglou said yesterday.
Williams is bidding for a 24th Grand Slam title at the Australian Open, which would match Margaret Court’s record.
The American great has fallen short in four Grand Slam finals since winning the 2017 Australian Open but has another chance after reaching the quarter-finals at Melbourne Park.
“Does she need that validation? I don't think she needs that validation,” Mouratoglou told reporters.
“But clearly she came back to tennis to win some other Grand Slams, so that is for sure the goal.
“Now, she’s not as obsessed with the 24 than most of the people in the tennis world, but definitely she wants to win Grand Slams.
“That is the only reason why she came back to tennis.”
Mouratoglou said it did not really make sense to compare Williams's record with Court, given 13 of the Australian’s Grand Slam titles came before the professional era, which started in 1968.
“We all know it is two different sports,” he said.
“It’s an amateur sport and a professional sport.
“But it is probably fun to talk about beating records, which is something that I understand.”
Mouratoglou said Williams at 39 was moving better than she had in three years on the court, and the team had placed a big emphasis on bringing back the “footwork” she had in the past.
“If you can't move well, there is no Plan B. The only plan is attack. I think it cost her a few important matches,” said the Frenchman.
“We’ve been struggling those last years because she had a lot of injuries, so she was not able to practise the way we wanted,” he said.
“It’s a bit of a vicious circle because when you can’t practise well, you don’t get fit.
“Now we’re more in a virtuous circle than a vicious one.”
Tenth seed Williams plays second seed Simona Halep for a place in the semi-finals. Halep beat her for the 2019 Wimbledon title the last time they met.
The Wimbledon triumph was only Halep’s second victory in 11 matches played against Williams, but Mouratoglou saw it as something of a watershed for the Romanian.
“I think Simona played the perfect match in Wimbledon.
“It’s going to be a different process for her because she knows she can play like that against Serena, which she never did before,” said Mouratoglou.
“She will come probably with more confidence, and we're prepared for that.”
