Martin and Ndolwane Super Sounds have partnered fundraising concerts for the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Matabeleland North Business Against Crime Forum of Zimbabwe (Bacfoz), in conjunction with Crime Consultative Committee(CCC).

The show is slated for Hwange stadium on September 3, and will see many up-and-coming artistes in Matabeleland North province belting it out alongside the Amajongosi leader.

The theme for CID Mat North Bacfoz is: “Unwavering in adversity, drumming support for detectives; ‘Icala kaliboli, silicubungula njalonje/ Mhosva hairovi, totoiferefeta chete’; to nurture a positive attitude, skills and knowledge in the community”.

In interview with Sunday Life, Thandazani Nyoni who is the publicist and manager of the Martin and Ndolwane Super Sounds said his ensemble was geared to engage in community policing initiatives.

“It’s an edutainment and business show against crime, a show in conjunction with crime consultative committee where people will both be entertained and taught at the same doing business. The show is meant for fundraising for the CID department in Matabeleland North.

“We were chosen as the main act because of our popularity. We are really proud to learn that the Hwange and Victoria Falls community chose us ahead of many artistes. We are not going to disappoint, we are going to prove are worth to them,” said Nyoni.

Zimbabwe Republic Police Community policing initiative is where the police consult the community in finding ways of curbing, preventing and detecting crime.

The objectives are to appreciate crime and crime trends so as to formulate strategies in the fight against crime within communities, to police own communities.

Meanwhile, Hlahlani Ndhlela — District Community Relations and Liaison Officer for Matabeleland North province said this was one of his organisation’s strategies to combat crime.

“This is one of the many police community initiatives that include Neighbourhood Watch Committees, Home Officer Scheme, House Under Supervision Scheme, Community Relations and Liaison Officers (CRLOs), Business Against Crime Forum of Zimbabwe (BACFOZ), Junior Call programme, Use of suggestion Boxes, Tolfree lines and WhatsApp,” said Ndlela.
