Harare is bracing for what could be the biggest cultural collision of 2025. This Saturday, August 30, two of Zimbabwe’s most decorated music giants Winky D and Jah Prayzah will command different stages in the capital, turning the city into a battlefield of rhythm, loyalty, and raw star power.
At Alex Sports Club, the “Gaffa” himself, Winky D, will host his highly anticipated Tête-à-Tête concert.
Known for his hard-hitting Zimdancehall anthems and fearless social commentary, Winky D is expected to draw thousands of fans hungry for a night of high-octane energy and uncompromising artistry. For his legion of “Gaffa Army” followers, this is not just a show it’s a pilgrimage.
Meanwhile, across town at the Harare Agricultural Show, Jah Prayzah the “Masoja” will be performing to an equally massive crowd.
With his trademark military regalia and Afro-fusion hits that have united Zimbabweans across generations, Jah Prayzah’s set (slated between 7 PM and 8 PM) promises to be a patriotic and euphoric spectacle. His fans, the “JP Soldiers,” insist that no stage can contain the firepower he’s bringing this weekend.
With both having sizzling line up.The clash is not on one stage but in the hearts of Zimbabweans. For years, fans and critics have pitted the two superstars against each other Winky D, the rebel voice of the streets, versus Jah Prayzah, the polished statesman of modern Zimbabwean music.
Both have commanded stadiums, broken streaming records, and won international recognition but never before have they squared off on the same night in the same city.
One thing is certain Saturday, August 30, 2025, will go down in Zimbabwean music history as the night when giants walked parallel paths, and Harare became the arena.
