Motor Action Epic Sundays reign supreme

Andrew Moyo

SUNDAY is usually a calm day on Harare’s leisure scene, more so when the sun goes down with Monday blues lingering in the air for most working class people.

While numerous braai spots are alive during the day, the merrymaking slowly dies down as daylight fades away.

All roads then lead to Motor Action Sports Club — the premier Sunday hub for night-life aficionados. The Platinum Entertainment-backed Epic Sundays are certainly living up to the name, with an extraordinarily explosive party vibe being the norm.

Outdoor venues are usually less crowded during the chilly periods as people prefer partying in warmer indoor set-ups but this particular party has been getting more exciting as winter intensifies.

The organisers have introduced braziers, which are strategically placed within the venue when temperatures take a dip. Despite the growing numbers of patrons, the service at the bar area has improved significantly as more hands have been added.

With talented DJs, including Candyman, Yung Fresh, Treehouse and Ikonik Krimzn, to name a few, the dance floor is always hyperactive.

While top emcee, MC Bigdolla Bruce, has always been a staple behind the microphone with his humorous punchlines spicing up proceedings, the addition of Abisha Palmer on the line-up has brought more energy and freshness to the jamboree.

Catering for different tastes, this is one of the few places where the young and mature mix and mingle without a fuss or complaints.

This has also become a hub for celebrities and socialites, with many hosting their birthday parties at this event. Occasionally, there are surprise performances from some of the country’s top artistes. Free entry into the venue and reasonable pricing of beverages is also another aspect that is keeping the place attractive.

With the Africa Cup of Nations now in full swing as electricity woes continue, this outlet also offers soccer lovers a great experience, thanks to the big screens and standby generators.
