Ambassador Cho said he came to know about the musician through newspaper articles before looking for his music on YouTube and other social media platforms.

Macheso. One day I asked my PA to look for him and we met and had dinner at my residence,” he said.
Their first meeting was facilitated by the Zimbabwe Red Cross Society.
“They arranged for us to meet at the Zimbabwe Red Cross Society and that is when I learnt that he is a humanitarian ambassador for the organisation.
“I was surprised when I arrived at Red Cross to hear that the organisation’s secretary general (Mr Maxwell Phiri) was waiting for me. I told them I had come to meet Macheso and not for other business. It was an exciting experience meeting the musician. I wish to go for his gigs as a fan not as Ambassador. I will also invite him to my residence for a performance,” he said.
Macheso said it was encouraging to note that people follow his music.
“I was happy to receive a call from such a person and I am happy that he invited me to his place and our interaction was fruitful,” he said.
Meanwhile, Macheso will stage a family show at Extra Mile on Sunday. He is expected to sample new songs at the show.
“I wish to go for his gigs as a fan not as Ambassador. I will also invite him to my residence for a performance,” he said.
