“It is a very well appreciated honour to be part of this family. My coming in gives me an easier task, complimenting the efforts of my predecessor,” said Bangure.
“In that wake bringing in new energy, vibrant programing, additional concepts and make City Sports Bar the place one drools to make a date with and sample the colossal of activities taking place there. I guess people just have to watch this space.”
Bangure’s successes include taking Mokoomba; one of the most successful local outfits and Bongo Love onto the international scene and has also managed Skyy Music and Culture in Berlin, Germany.
Together with business partner Cosmas Zamangwe, Bangure is responsible for one of Harare’s first upmarket clubs, Willows Nite Spot at MaStones in Highfields and promised that City Sports Bar would maintain its vibrancy and bring in more concepts stemming from his international exposure.
