WHAT does it mean to be star-struck? Well, it means that elation you get when you come across somebody you idolise.

Well, what about when you are a star yourself? Do you still get star-struck?
Yes, of course, you do! Ask Michael Mahendere!
The Zimbabwean gospel music sensation couldn’t contain himself when he met Lovemore Majaivana, the legendary singer from this country who lives in the United States.
The two had a chance meeting while Minister Mahendere, as he calls himself, was ministering in Dallas this week.
“It was awesome meeting with the Legend, Baba Lovemore Majaivana in Dallas on Sunday,” Mahendere wrote.
“He came to fellowship with us, I was ministering in both word and music. I must say I admire the grace of him of doing music that does not expire. It was awesome at Harvest International Church Dallas.
“There have been concerted efforts to have Majaivana return home for a once-off gig to no avail. Perhaps MaGee, as he was known on stage, has given his life to Christ and is no longer into secular music.”
Reports abound that the Salanini Zinini and Tshilamoya hit-maker has a lot of misgivings about Zimbabwean showbiz so much that he no longer wants to be associated with his past glory, especially that he has settled well in the US.
Speculation is that Majaivana is no longer interested in coming to Zimbabwe.
Concerted efforts by several promoters and musicians, including Albert Nyathi, have failed to bring Majaivana home for concerts.
