Mahachi, who two weeks ago brought in the South African diva for the video shoot in Harare, told Standard Style that production on the visuals is done and ready for release.
“The much-awaited video of my collaboration with Dr Winnie Mashaba will be released on Monday at 10am on YouTube,” Mahachi said.
“Dr Winnie Mashaba was in Zimbabwe two weeks ago to shoot the video which many are anticipating to watch.
“The title of the song is simply A Friend, which encourages and reminds people about a friend who is true and never leaves even in times of sorrow, it’s a song of hope that will give relief to many.
“The video was shot here in Zimbabwe in different areas which will go a long way to show the beauty of our country Zimbabwe.
“l decided we shoot the video in Zimbabwe to showcase our beautiful nation as many will have an opportunity to watch this musical video this is my first collaboration with an international artist to be shot in my country and l thought it was worthwhile.”
Mahachi said Mashaba was excited to take part in the project and described her visit as one of the best in terms of hospitality.
