Vimbai “Chocolate” Muzuva, once a household name in Harare’s club scene, has turned over a new leaf, embracing life as a born-again Christian and leaving behind her past as a pole dancer and stripper.
Sources say Muzuva is now married to a pastor and has changed her contact details and social media pages, making her only reachable via Facebook.
Her former manager, Sherpard “Sherpy Taz” Tsandukwa, confirmed her transformation, saying her journey has been long and challenging.
“I am glad that Chocolate, whom I once managed, has turned to God after winning her battle against drug abuse,” Tsandukwa said.

“Many people in strip clubs knew her as that talented dancer who turned heads on the club scene by providing adult entertainment, but now she is a changed person.”
Tsandukwa recounted how he had known Muzuva since 2013, arranging a six-month performance tour in China and working closely with her until 2018.
He also revealed turbulent times, including disputes that led to his arrest after Muzuva accused him of stealing her money—a case that ended with his acquittal.
“At one point, she was a nuisance because she was taking drugs and she lost many friends along the way.
“I had her checked into rehab and I am glad that she is now a new person focusing on God’s ministry as well as selling her beauty products in Glen View, where she runs a stall,” Tsandukwa said.
“What truly makes us happy now is that she has proved that it’s never too late.”
H-Metro reported that her change of heart has inspired many in the entertainment industry who knew her for her high-energy performances.
Harpers Mapimhidze, president of the Dancers Association of Zimbabwe (DAZ), praised her turnaround.
“I am one of the people who celebrated when I heard that Chocolate had turned to God. Earlier this year, I could not engage her for a meaningful conversation because she had become a slave to drugs,” Mapimhidze said.
“Her new partner, who also leads the same church, doesn’t want her to talk with old friends to ensure she doesn’t revert to her old ways, which is good for her.”
Muzuva, who now goes by her birth name on social media, has been sharing biblical scriptures online, signaling a commitment to her new faith and a life far removed from her past.
