TROUBLESOME Orchestra Mberikwadzo star dancer and choreographer, Selemane “Majuice” Mpochi, has been given a last warning as he re-joins the outfit after a four-week suspension.
Majuice was suspended earlier this month after appearing late on stage during a show in Chiredzi. He claimed he “overslept” at the lodge where other band members were booked, raising the ire of Macheso’s management.
The talented choreographer’s suspension was lifted yesterday after he begged for forgiveness. He also engaged other people close to Alick Macheso to ask for forgiveness on his behalf.
However, Majuice has been demoted to an ordinary member of the band. Orchestra Mberikwazvo publicist, Tich Makahamadze, confirmed Majuice’s return. “I can confirm that Majuice is back at work.
“We have given him a final warning. This is the second time that we have suspended him. You will see him on stage at Chitungwiza Aquatic Complex this Saturday. “If he repeats the same behaviour, we won’t tolerate him,” he said.
Insiders at Orchestra Mberikwazvo said Majuice was now an ordinary member. “He has been given a final warning but he won’t get the same favours he used to get as a senior member of the group.
“As you have noticed, Baba Sharo has ‘ordained’ Kariba (Shame Chidewo) as a senior dancer who should take Majuice’s responsibilities.
“He finally swallowed his pride and apologised to Baba Sharo, we hope he has learnt a lesson this time around,” said the source.
