Stand-up comedian, Q Dube has quit Power FM for an online radio station in South Africa.
He says he is done with Zimbabwe.
“The Power FM breakfast show was a stepping stone and I left the station on good books. They actually told me that I could come back whenever I wanted to. But when you’re a creative artist, you need to move on.”
“I’ve moved to South Africa to try and do comedy here. I’ve also got a slot on 1873FM. It’s an online radio station that has room to expand and I’m glad to be part of that team,” Q Dube told The Chronicle.
“If I’m to leave South Africa, I’ll go further away as I’m not coming back to Zimbabwe to be based there.
“I’ll just come to see my parents, perform and go back to my South Africa base.”
“In the South African industry, there’s more work to do, it’s professional and there are more stages to perform on — something that’s essential for the growth of any artiste.
“In Zimbabwe, I was stuck in a situation where I had to do the breakfast show every morning, which is not bad in a country like South Africa where you can get a company like Mercedes Benz listen to your breakfast show and appoint you as their brand ambassador.”
