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.

My obituary to Rev E Kamupira

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Rev E Kamupira was my childhood model of Christianity, his teachings resonated well and shaped my beliefs. I knew Rev E Kamupira since my Sunday School days at St Stephens Chitungwiza Circuit. Sundays weren’t the same each time Rev Kamupira came to preach. Rev Kamupira was a product of United Methodist Church crusade of teachings though he had a Pentecostal touch that kind of made him popular within and without of United Methodist Church. His fearless gospel suited well with congregants in an independent Zimbabwe. From hearing his teachings far away from the terraces I ended up privileged sharing the same church with Rev Kamupira in Waterfalls. I had also rose to a promising Administrator in the United Methodist Church. I had a mutual relationship with Elison Kamupira. We discussed our church current affairs and shared the gospel. Rev Kamupira was a very respectful person who always put others before him. The chur

Resilience makes great changes in people's lives, don't commit Suicide Fadzai sat on the edge of her bed, feeling empty and defeated. She had never felt so alone in her life. Thomas’s brief and dismissive response on the phone had left her reeling. She thought about her daughter, Rungano, who was now misbehaving at school, and how she was struggling to cope with the absence of her father. Thomas had gone to South Africa for greener pastures leaving Fadzai with their only daughter behind. The plan was to relocate to South Africa as soon as Thomas had settled. In the first six months Thomas supported Fadzai with groceries, school fees and rentals. A shift began after Thomas had started seeing other women in South Africa. Thomas started sending money enough for rentals, school fees and a few groceries. The plan to relocate the

The Power of Family Influence

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga The African proverb "charity begins at home" takes on a deeper meaning when we consider the profound impact of family on our lives. As I reflect on my own experiences, I realize that the values, beliefs, and behaviors we learn from our families shape us in ways that are both visible and invisible. As a former restaurant manager, I noticed that people's behavior in public spaces was often a reflection of their home environment. Some patrons would leave the toilet spotless, while others would leave it in disarray. The effort we put into maintaining hygiene in our kitchens is often mirrored in our public behavior. This observation led me to realize that our family's influence extends far beyond our childhood years. Our parents' behavior, expectations, and values are imprinted on us from a young age. We mimic their actions, adopt their beliefs, and internalize their criticisms. As we grow older, we begin to make choic
