AT a time that people are stuck at home with pretty much no
entertainment, socialites like Genius “Ginimbi” Kadungure, are making sure that
people from across the globe, are well entertained during the lockdown.
Before the lockdown, Ginimbi, who rose to fame after the
hosting of his All-White birthday parties, had been entertaining people with
his “My life your TV” live shows on his Instagram page. Here, he would invite
people to converse with him and often poke fun at them, entertaining people in
the process.
Just last week, he took a dig at gospel musician, Mudiwa
asking him how he was benefitting from being handsome.
This weekend, Ginimbi turned up the heat by hosting a
“twerking” dance off competition on his new Instagram page – therealginimbi.
Here, he invited those interested in dancing to participate for a R5 000 prize.
Upon going live, thousands of people flocked to Ginimbi’s
page and in no time, there were over 9 000 people waiting to watch the dance
off. However, Ginimbi seemed to have some problems with his connectivity as it
took ages for him to connect the dancers to his live. But when this was
rectified, the show was definitely on.
An American contestant by the name Juujitsu provided stiff
competition which likely deterred others from competing because after her act,
the dancers started backtracking. Another who had danced just before Juujitsu
and failed to impress judges and the audience, requested to compete again and
she just got an additional point from the two points she had received initially
from most judges as her act was below standard.
At the end, after realising the other contestants had
chickened out, the American contestant was adjudged the winner and received
US$1 000 instead of the R5 000 as she went an extra mile.
Some however said it was unfair for the American to be
given the prize as she seemed to be a professional erotic dancer.
Commenting on this, Ginimbi said: “The show was open to
anyone. Everyone was free to join. Those who feel cheated can contest again
this coming Saturday as we have another competition.”
Over and above, the show which was witnessed by the likes
of Sandra Ndebele and a lot of socialites from the city provided a different
kind of entertainment, something which is needed during this tough time when
there is not much exciting stuff.
During lockdown, people have embraced social media as most
of the “fun” activities are taking place there. Other than Ginimbi, there are a
series of lockdown parties taking place on Facebook and Instagram. The likes of
Babongile Sikhonjwa and friends, DJ Mzoe and Reverb 7 among other DJs are among
those conducting such parties. Chronicle
