Local Entrepreneurs Establish Independent Music Charts

Ndeipi Designs and Finto Marketing have come together to establish a weekly music charts, Ndeipi Hot Ten. It has been necessitated to add platforms that help musicians reach out and also assist in getting feedback.

The music industry is growing more and more musicians continue to emerge. Melodious music, social commentary and praise songs make up the mix. Music is intended for the society, it belongs there. A song may carry message of hope to a person who is in the deep valleys of Chimanimani. How to link the hopeless with the song carrying their message is the problem musicians have.

Also musicians want to know if their music is making the grade. So feedback is important to inform future decisions. A lot of music is ending up in cupboards yet it could have helped send messages of hope to our society. With the Ndeipi Hot Ten a musician will know within a week after the release of his song if it is making an impact through the people who will vote. Fred Farai Nyakudanga FFF as he s commonly known shared how the chart works.

"We publish results every week with the number of votes cast

It becomes easy to grow your audiences every week in the Ndeipi Hot Ten. You will also know when to introduce a new song. Some argue that if you do not have broadcasting platforms then how will people know about my song. We give our musicians a link to share with their fans and by so doing the song begin to be requested. The interest fans have to put their musicians on top is so encouraging and in the process the spreads". He ended by saying "We have a few platforms that are still radio attached and many musicians fail to get access as musician population is rising everyday".

Ndeipi Designs is an urban and sports clothing company which was incorporated in 2017. Ndeipi intends to capture the Zimbabwean and African youth identity through clothing. They are based in Harare. Their partners Finto Marketing are Music and Musicians Marketing Consultancy.

Love, Sex, and Marriage: Three Sides of the Same Coin

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga In today’s society, the lines between love, sex, and marriage are often blurred. Sex has been commercialized and portrayed as a pleasurable act, while love is taught through upbringing and personal experiences. Marriage, on the other hand, has become a duty where two people often find themselves tied together due to sex and social prestige. Love vs. Sex Sex is a natural instinct, while love is a cultivated emotion that allows us to accommodate someone who is not ourselves. As I often say in my sessions with young adults, every creature that reproduces enjoys sex. However, it’s love that sets us apart. We can plan and work on love, tolerating and forgiving someone who is different from us. Love disciplines us on who to have sex with, and mutual desire is a design of our own making. While sex and love are interconnected, they serve different purposes. Sex is driven by inner feelings that aim to satisfy reproduction, whereas love is a choice that req...

Greener Pastures Do Not Secure A Fat Cow

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Just like cows seeking greener pastures, humans are drawn to opportunities that promise better living standards. However, I pose a critical question: do greener pastures truly guarantee prosperity if the underlying conditions are flawed? Perhaps the lack of progress is not due to the absence of opportunities, but rather the result of haphazard approaches, poor planning, and neglected resources. In the pursuit of a better life, many Africans seek opportunities in diaspora, enticed by promises of higher salaries and improved living standards. Yet, I firmly believe that true fulfillment and lasting impact can only be achieved by addressing the underlying conditions that hinder our progress in our own autonomous land – a land where we have territorial integrity. These underlying conditions include : 1. Absent value creation mechanisms : Failing to harness value from our resources and talents, instead relying on others for validation. 2. Disunity : Lac...

Richness is Not a Coincidence, While Poverty is a Choice

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Even when circumstances seem to offer no alternatives, choices still exist. These choices might be limited, oppressive, or unappealing, but they are choices nonetheless. The decision to pursue richness, unlike the circumstances that lead to poverty, is often deliberate and hard-won. Richness is not a chance occurrence; it is created. Those who achieve it have typically made conscious decisions, defying odds and pushing beyond familiar territories. In contrast, poverty often results from coerced or timid choices, stemming from situations created by those who comprehend the nature of richness. Strategies to Evade Poverty 1. Seek Opportunities, Even When None Seem Apparent : Be proactive, network, think creatively, and take calculated risks. 2. Don't Wait for Validation from Others ; Take Initiative: Self-validate, set your own goals, take ownership, and be decisive. 3. Overcome Objections and Challenges : Anticipate obstacles, develop problem-...
