HER agility and scanty costumes have attracted the attention of many a reveller. Her stage performance is gripping and mesmerising. But who is Slizer? The Batswana musician has tongues wagging in Zimbabwe, where she has created an impressive following among the young and old. Slizer’s music or is it dances have resulted in the musician-cum-dancer’s artistic material literary flying off shelves on the local market. The Patriot had an opportunity to chat with the energetic dancer at the recent Harare Gardens Family Show which also featured Zimbabwe’s Alick Macheso and Tryson Chimbetu. Born in ‘1980 something’, Slizer — whose real name is Naledi Kaizara — began performing in 1999. Slizer, inspired by South Africa’s Boom Shaka and its controversial leader, the late Lebo, has carved herself a niche in the Botswana entertainment industry and is fast making inroads into the region. The sultry dancer with a well-toned body that would be the envy of many athletes is a mother to a 13-year-old boy, Bibo, and confesses to loving children. Bibo, according to Slizer, is taking after her and has also ventured into the music industry. The musician catapulted into fame, locally, by including and celebrating Zimbabwe in her music has visited the country on a number of occasions and every time has received a warm reception and to her credit is yet to disappoint local fans. Initially revealing that she was single, Slizer later said she was engaged. This was after her manager turned out to be “my fiancé”. “He is a multi-talented guy,” she said. The musician has to date recorded two albums and to cement her re- lations with Zimbabwe plans to collaborate with local musicians. “Presently I am working in collaboration with one of the country’s (Zimbabwe) finest musicians,” she said without divulging the project or artiste. “The Zimbabwean crowd is the best I have dealt with so far in my career,” said Slizer.
