The launch has been scheduled at the National Museum in the afternoon.
Ricco Andrews told Southern Eye Lifestyle that the video is the first of its kind.
“We were impressed by what Pokello Nare did when she represented the country at the last Big Brother Africa: The Game show and that inspired the dance.
“It’s also a dance we created to prove that we can improvise our own dances that locals can embrace and give names after celebrities just the way it is done overseas,” Andrews said.
He revealed that other artistes view the video as a subliminal message to Pokello.

“We want to clear the air on that. This is just a musical video and has got nothing to do with Pokello personally but celebrates Zimbabwe’s art,” he added.
The musician said they were optimistic on the outcome.
“This is our first video and we are optimistic that it will do well. We thank God for the blessing. However, we feel we can do better as we are still using limited resources,” Andrews added.
Antivirus was formed two years ago and consists of Ricco Andrews, Victor Madzura and Prince Dube.
The group won best hip-hop dance group at the Zimbabwe hip-hop awards 2012. Last year they were nominated in the same category.
