George Mfune of Chiputula Township in Mzuzu says he is ready to take Blantyre by storm.
Mfune, popularly known as Grove Joker on stage, says his dancing antics have been polished and he is set to showcase dancing skills from Mzuzu.
He is also confident of winning Kajive Season 3, whose winner walks away with the prize of K2 million.
“Judges should expect a tough ride in deciding on who has made it. I have had enough preparations and I want to go as far as the final,” Mfune says.
Twen ty-eight-year- o ld Mfune is unemployed. He earns a living through selling second hand clothes at Mzuzu’s Zigwagwa Market.
Mfune, who is married, says he gathered courage to participate in the completion considering that Kajive Season 3 is the first for Mzuzu participants, who have been sidelined in previous editions.
“Dancing has always fascinated me but I lacked a platform to showcase my skills. Even though the first two editions did not include Mzuzu, I hopped a day would come for us and here we are. I would like to go far without limitations in the competition
“I am ready to stun judges with my dramatic performance become I am a sensational dancer,” he says.
His dance, he says, is inspired by both local and international musicians and dancers.
Internationally, Mfune is inspired by Usher Raymond’s impeccable dance moves and high charisma.
“I have been watching his videos and what he mesmerisingly does with his body. The videos show how extremely talented he is and I was so amazed with it that I started practicing.
“I gave myself a period to grasp Raymond’s smooth transitions and the heavy foot work, skills, and moves until I got the point,” Mfune says.
Although it is the first time to take part in the completion, Mfune is sure that his time is now.
He says this is because there are few participating groups and individual dancers in the competition, giving people like him the chance to shine.
“I just want to show that young people from Mzuzu can also do it at national level,” he says.
