Popular comedian, Sabhuku Vharazipi, real name David
Mubaiwa, says he is now a successful farmer.
Vharazipi now boasts of several livestock that includes 20
pigs and 15 cattle. This year he had a good harvest of more than 10 tonnes of
maize, beans, and rapoko.
“I am a farmer and this has become my other source of
income. I am able to send my children to school,” he said. Mubayiwa also managed
to buy a vehicle, an Isuzu Wizard. Vharazipi and hiw wife are blessed with four
children, Patrick who is studying at Midlands State University, Tapuwanashe,
Tatenda and Ruvarashe. “After Vharazipi production we are no longer living the
same life because people are always happy to see us. My family has been very
supportive,” he said.
He has managed to
navigate his way around a challenging upbringing, living on the edge of
destitution, but he never lost hope. When the popular comedian’s parents
discovered his passion in acting, he was chucked out of their home in Masvingo.
That was 1991 and the comedian was only 16 years old. Then
art was generally associated with poor people and many parents did not want
their children to choose the genre as their career path.
