Graceful July, the winter chills don’t  bite as much as the frost we had in June. With rising cases of Covid-19 infections in Zimbabwe, the lockdown restrictions were made stiffer, keeping more people at home with more time for social media I suppose. It surely was a packed week marking the birthdays for people like KVG Royalty, ZiFM’s Amard, and Jah Prayzah. The social media streets had much to keep one hooked through the week. Whether  you were following the Jerusalema story or anticipating Gwara on the Gateway Stream, there was enough showbiz to keep one hooked in between. Below is a wrap up of some of the buzz you could have missed when you snoozed. Do take time to catch up.
