Akon in H-Town….
There was chaos at the Harare International Airport earlier this afternoon as hundreds of Akon fans waited for their icon to land. When he finally appeared from the terminal- not through the normal exit- just after 1400hrs, there were scenes of hysteria as people screamed his name, reached out to touch his hand and some burst into tears.
Initially the crowd was watching two limousines that were moving slowly round the parking lot, believing that he would leave in either of the two vehicles. Both the departures and arrivals areas of the terminal were packed with people.
But Akon was brought out through a rear entrance and shown to Phillip Chiyangwa’s Rolls Royce Phantom. The Royce, along with a police escort and a number of other gleaming vehicles did a tour round the airport. The frenzy reached fever pitch when Akon appeared through the sun roof of the luxury vehicle.
Ahead of him, waving like crazy and also receiving his own round of cheers, was Phillip Chiyangwa in a convertible Mercedes coupe.
The fans, who had waited since as early as 1100hrs, ranged from teenagers to much older music lovers. 
There were loud screams as those closest to the vehicle reached out to touch his hand while others whipped out their camera phones and recorded the historic moment.
Akon’s convoy was followed by about fifty other vehicles as it made its way into the Harare City Centre.
He will hold a press conference later on today.-Zimbojam
