Former Airtel Malawi Ambassador Piksy real name Evans Zangazanga famed for the hit ‘Uncle Short One,’ leaves the country Friday for the United Kingdom where he is expected to perform at the Malawi Achievers Awards Saturday.

Piksy will perform at the event alongside ‘Tsika Msungwana’ star Sonyezo Kandoje alias Sonye.
“Sonye left Wednesday and I am leaving today. But we are all prepared. We already sent our songs for the band to practise, we have been linking online and it is going to be great,” said Piksy.
The Malawi Achievers Awards will be held in Birmingham, at the red carpet purpose-built CSN International Exhibition and Conference Centre.
