Alick Macheso Suspended Lead Dancer Majuice Breaks His Silence, Shares His Side of the Story
Alick Macheso’s star dancer Selemane ‘Majuice’ Mpochi has come forward to speak out to set the record straight after getting suspended.
Majuice, who is the lead dancer and choreographer for Orchestra Mberikwazvo, was suspended last weekend, from his position due to various transgressions. His habitual tardiness in reporting for duty was reportedly the primary reason for his suspension.
Alick Macheso, Majuice’s employer, revealed that there had been ongoing concerns regarding the dancer’s behaviour, particularly his punctuality issues.

Majuice’s Account: Late Arrival Incident and Pay Reduction as Self-Imposed Punishment
In an interview with H-Metro, Majuice shared his side of the story. He explained that the conflict with management arose when he arrived late for a show in Chiredzi during the Easter holidays.
Majuice claims that he reported late for duty because he overslept.
“I reported for duty at 1 am because I overslept at a lodge where we were staying with the other members of the group,” Majuice revealed.
He revealed that because of his late arrival, his pay was cut. As a result of the pay reduction, Majuice considered it to be a satisfactory punishment. However, he was later surprised when he received a phone call from management informing him of his suspension.
“As a consequence, my pay was reduced, and I believed that was a sufficient penalty. However, I was later surprised to receive a phone call from management informing me of my suspension, and to this day, I am unaware of when the ban will be lifted.”
Questioning the Severity: Dancer Expresses Confusion over Suspension for a Single Infraction
Majuice is still in disbelief over his abrupt suspension. He claims that there may be more to the situation. Majuice argued that he was being persecuted for alleged infractions he did not commit.
“I can’t be suspended solely for reporting late for one show. People working in large companies sometimes arrive late, and what matters is communication when you are running behind schedule.”
He clarified that on that particular occasion, he was not coming from home but had been part of a major tour that commenced in Harare during Easter before proceeding to Beitbridge and Chiredzi.
Loyalty Amidst Challenges: Majuice Affirms Commitment to Macheso and Orchestra Mberikwazvo Brand
Maintaining his innocence, Majuice assured his fans that he is okay.
“At the moment I am okay and safe, the only thing that makes my conscience clear is that I did not quit my job but management worked against me.
“Our loyal fans should get this right because I have been loyal to Macheso even when things were down.
Furthermore, he disclosed that management barred him from participating in music videos of other artists, and he complied with this directive out of respect for the ingrained identity of the Orchestra Mberikwazvo brand.
“I was banned from featuring in other artists’ videos by management, and I complied with that because the Orchestra Mbrikwazvo brand is in my DNA,” he added.
