Chitungwiza’s very own Voltz JT, one of Zimbabwe’s most celebrated hip-hop stars, is taking the spotlight at the 14th Pogues Zim Hip Hop Awards, happening on December 13, 2024, at Royal Gate Gardens, Chisipite. With multiple nominations to his name, Voltz is not just representing his music but proudly flying the flag high for Chitungwiza, proving that the satellite town is a powerhouse in Zimbabwe’s hip-hop scene.
Under the theme “Beyond The Beat”, the event will be a strictly invitation-only affair, with 100 limited tickets available on flippintickets.co.zw. For fans in the hood and beyond, the awards will also be livestreamed on Facebook.
As Voltz continues to raise the game for Chitungwiza and Zimbabwean hip-hop, his journey from ‘N.O.P’ is a testament to talent, hard work, and the power of representing your roots. See the nomination list below;
