president of the association, Hapaguti Mapimhidze, who is also manager of popular dancer Beverly Sibanda, said times have never been so hard in their lives.
“Things are tough. We were used to shows in night clubs, weddings, and parties, but these have gone with the Covid-19 restrictions. We are struggling to sustain our families,” said Hapaguti.
ZDA is a grouping of dancers, who survive on dancing mostly in drinking places and at weddings and parties.
