On 31 December 2025, Zimbabwe will stop breathing for a few hours. Two of the most talked-about artists Winky D and Jah Prayzah are stepping on one stage, same day, same venue: Hockey Stadium, National Sports.
Shout-out to Chipaz Promotions this man didn’t just organize a show; he organized a masterclass in business strategy. Before the speakers even power on, before the lights flash, before the crowd screams… the business lessons have already started.
Let’s break them down.
COLLABORATION IS A CURRENCY: BUT AFRICANS ARE BROKE IN THAT DEPARTMENT
In Zimbabwe, artists treat collaboration like a toxic relationship “Let’s talk… but not too much, people might think we like each other.” One pulls east, the other pulls west. Result? Empty venues and emotional damage.
But look at Jamaicans, Americans, South Africans these people collaborate like it’s a sport. They fill stadiums because they understand something simple:
When egos collapse, economies rise.
Winky D + Jah Prayzah is not just a show. It’s a statement:
“Your fans + my fans = a national shutdown.”
Now imagine businesses doing the same. But no companies in Zimbabwe would rather take a tender alone, underperform, deliver nonsense, blame the economy, and repeat.
Sometimes, my brother, it’s better to own 10% of an elephant than 100% of a rat.
DIFFERENT GENRES, ONE STAGE DIFFERENT COMPANIES, ONE GOAL
These two giants come from different musical tribes. One commands the Wagwizi Army. The other commands the Vigilance Family. And honestly their fans argue more than politicians in Parliament.
But for this show? Everyone is coming together.
It’s unity disguised as entertainment.
In business we need the same spirit. Imagine construction companies teaming up with engineers. Accounting firms teaming up with tech companies. Transport companies partnering with logistics startups.
Instead, we spend energy dissing each other on WhatsApp groups.
Sometimes your competitor is not your enemy they’re your missing ingredient.
“NO TICKETS AT THE GATE” A MASTERCLASS IN SERIOUS PLANNING
Chipaz didn’t just organize a show. He organized a system.
“No tickets will be sold at the gate.”
Do you know how bold that is? Zimbabweans love last-minute behaviour. They will promise you “I’m coming,” then disappear faster than free WiFi.
Pre-selling tickets means:
He knows his attendance early He can budget with confidence Security, logistics, and resources are predictable There’s no chaos at the entrance The show is run like a business, not vibes
This is the same lesson businesses ignore when hosting events.
You announce a seminar. People click “Going” on Facebook. You start ordering food for 300. Event day arrives… 15 people show up, eating like 60 to compensate for the missing 285.
The internet lies. Commitments don’t.
If they haven’t paid, fam, they are not coming.
ANTICIPATION IS A MARKETING STRATEGY NOT AN ACCIDENT
Notice something? Before even one speaker is tested, the country is already talking.
That’s power. That’s positioning. That’s what I call:
“Hype Capital.”
The collaboration sells itself before the product even arrives.
Businesses should learn this. Stop launching in silence and complaining that “people don’t support.” Make noise. Create tension. Trigger curiosity. Let people argue. Let people pick sides.
Winky and JP didn’t have to beg anyone to care. The very idea of them sharing a stage created free marketing.
Your business needs that energy.
UNITY SELLS DIVISION COSTS
For years, Zimbabweans have debated:
“Who is better?” “Who is king?” “Who runs December?”
Now both lions are walking into the same arena.
Not to fight. To celebrate.
Businesses need that maturity.
Stop throwing shade. Stop gossiping about your competitors. Stop wishing for their downfall.
The market is big. Your thinking is small.
FINAL TAKEAWAY
This show is more than entertainment. It’s a business case study, a leadership lesson, and a collaboration blueprint.
From Chipaz we learn planning. From Winky and JP we learn unity. From the fans we learn anticipation. And from the setup we learn that success favours those who think together, not alone.
So as Zimbabwe sings and dances on New Year’s Eve… entrepreneurs should be taking notes.
Because sometimes the biggest lessons don’t come from classrooms they come from stages.
