ZIMDANCEHALL star, Enzo Ishall has received a golden handshake from President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s sons, Emmerson Jnr and Collins, gold dealer, Pedzisai Scott Sakupwanya and Tapiwa Chipembere.
The quartet have set up a paint ball park for the Zimdancehall chanter who recently announced that he was quitting music to pursue other ventures.
“Through @chippy263, @emmerson_Jnr Mnangagwa ,@collins_mnangagwa & @scott_kupa reached out & helped me to setup a business that I’ve always wanted to venture into, I amforever grateful. They assisted me in purchasing the paintball shooting gear i.e a large number of paintball guns, masks & vests. l’m happy to announce that l will be opening a paintball park very soon,” Enzo wrote on his Instagram page.
Enzo also highlighted that he has been going through turbulent times.
“l want to thank everybody for the kindness and support they’ve shown me in the past weeks. During that time I’ve learnt that as artists we have to protect our minds and prioritise our mental health rather than just go out there and do what the world wants us to do. The demands of the showbiz industry are relentless, the ongoing pandemic has made it worse so the cumulative effect over a period of time can have a major impact on your wellbeing,” he continued.
“Every artist has to deal with a lot more stress and pressure than most people, spending significant amounts of time creating art, away from family, with minimal freedoms is challenging. But I’ve been working on it, I’ve been learning and I think that’s all I can do.”
Born Kudzanai Stephen Mamhare, Enzo Ishall, rose to stardom through by famous Mbare’s Chillspot Record Label and went on to bag several awards, dominating local and regional airwaves.
It is not clear if he has fully retired as he hinted that he still wants to make good music.
“Premised on the feedback that management got from my fans & all music lovers, l now strive to try to strike a balance between working hard to establish this international sport called paintball shooting ( @actionpark_paintball ) & making good music. I owe it to my fans,” Enzo concluded.
