Bev and Zoey to perform on national TV


By Patience Tandawa
FAMOUSE Harare pole dances Beverly Sibanda and Zoey Sifelani are billed to perform alongside Brazilian Samba Dancers on the Samba Night to be held on the 22nd of next month.

Bev and Zoey as they are affectionately known in the raunchy dancing sector,  will share the stage with the Brazilians ahead of the Zimbabwe International Carnival which will be cohosted by the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority (ZTA) and the Zimbabwe Agricultural Society (ZAS) in the capital city Harare.

Addressing journalists at a press briefing recently, ZTA Chief Executive Officer Karikoga Kaseke confirmed that Zoey and Bev will be performing on Samba night alongside the Brazilian dancers and his organization is negotiating with then national broadcaster to have it beamed live on TV.

“We want to rope in the services of our own raunchy dancers Bev and Zoey on this night, this is going to be one electric night to remember since dancers from both sides are celebrated for their sexually seductive dancing routines.

“We are still negotiating with our national broadcaster to beam the whole Carnival proceedings on national television including the Samba night,” said Kaseke.

The last time Bev performed on national television was in Mutare at a musical gala, there was a roar from the general public who view her dances as sexually explicit and poisonous to youngsters.

Meanwhile, members of the public have expressed discomfort at Kaseke’s utterances as they believe Bev and Zoey’s dances are not for public consumption and must never find their way on national Television.
In an Interview, Mr Isaiah Mururi a father of four children all aged below 18 said showing Bev and Zoey on national TV is taboo and against our cultural norms and values.

“Our African culture speaks strongly against nudity and public indecency, some things must just be kept in the private circles,” he said.
