“retoria — HUNDREDS of Zimbabweans got together at Chez Ntemba in Pretoria on Friday night, fulfilling a promise by Enoch "Nox" Guni that his album launch will be the hottest Zimbabweans' get together in the South African capital.The all-Zimbabwean crowd got a dose of the versatile Urban Groover's fifth album dubbed Zim's Finest: Tisu Tine Yese after enjoying live performances of songs from previous albums that got everyone nostalgic of home.The show kicked off at around 11 pm as the organisers where trying to ensure that people got a chance to enter the prestigious venue meant for foreigners. The crowd was female-dominated on a scale of about four females for one male proving that Nox has managed to keep hold of the ladies through his sensual lyrics."Oh I am in Heaven," screamed Athila Deka; a female reveller as soon as Nox got on stage.”

“THERE is never a dull moment so it seems for Enock “Nox” Guni whose prospects for success seem to be firing from all cylinders.After enduring Zimbabwe’s tumultuous socio-political environment the Kuwadzana bred crooner packed up his bags and relocated to Mzansi in 2008, where from the looks of things he struck gold.“After going to South Africa I managed to build a more comfortable life for myself, managed to buy myself a nice car, and I now stay in a townhouse in Midrand,” he said.Unfortunately, as with most musicians, his relative success is not the result of his musical pursuits but of his day job. He is as a business development executive for a training and recruitment company, but there is no prize for guessing where his passion lies.”
