Singer Melynda Mgazi And Wife To A Musician Manages Well Both Music And Family





Singing became an early passion for Melynda Chapinduka Mgazi. She married Jonathan Mgazi, their union has been blessed with 5 children. For the past 14 years she has been a mother, she has not found it burdensome to care for her family while pursuing her music career also. Her singing started at school and church choirs. Born in the capital city of Zimbabwe Harare. 

Melyinda's musical career developed and shaped through the experience she gained through working with other established musicians. In 2008 to 2009 she was part of  Alexio Kawara’ female vocalists. Melyinda since 2010 to present she has always provided backing vocals for Baba Manyeruke. She also was privileged to have worked with the rumba outfit Diamond Musica sometime in 2013.



Melyinda's greatest benefit was marrying Jonathan Mgazi the talented Musician and Producer. Melyinda told me how she has to keep up to her husband’s standards in her productions. She quickly silenced me before I asked her if it was a toll order to meet the demands of a producer husband. Melyinda said she enjoyed the resultant quality afterwards. She also said she enjoyed singing together with her family as she is raising musicians among her children. 

 Melyinda released her debut album Rudo (Love) with 5 tracks in 2016. Her second 7 track album titled "Crazy Good" was released in 2018. She is currently working on her 3rd album. Melyinda’s aspirations are making an impact on the international scene as she has had the opportunity to mingle with some successful South African musicians who engage her husband in South Africa were he usually  works. Melyinda bemoaned lack of marketing. She said
 
“There are a few obvious platforms that continued to appreciate a small number of musicians considering the high population of musicians in Zimbabwe”

In loving memory of Mrs. Josephine Machuma (Nee Matongo)

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga   Mrs. Machuma played a pivotal role in shaping my Christian values and that of many during her time as a Sunday School teacher at St. Stephen United Methodist Church in the early 80s. Her catechism teachings strengthened my faith in the birth and death of Jesus Christ, and her picturesque illustrations of God’s omnipotence and omniscience remain vivid in my mind. As a dedicated teacher with stints at Zengeza 5 and 8 Primary Schools, Mrs. Machuma was known for her blunt yet nurturing approach. She would candidly address shortcomings, and her passion for education was evident. Many students, including myself, benefited from her guidance, and I’m sure many share my sentiments about her calling to educate. Together with her husband, Mr. Shepherd Machuma, the family embodied the good teachings of John Wesley. Their union, bound by vows of love and commitment, was a testament to the power of marriage. Even in separation, their love remains unwaver...

United Methodist Church: A Path of Continuous Improvement

   Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga  As a product of the United Methodist Church, I've come to realize the immense value of the administrative, business and leadership skills that the church imparts. Initially, I didn't appreciate these aspects, but after exploring other denominations, I returned to the United Methodist Church, recognizing its exceptional leadership development opportunities. The church's reporting system has had a profound impact on my self-development, and the process of worship, family ministering, and starting new churches has equipped me with replicable skills that I've applied to my daily life. Through the United Methodist Church, I've developed strong decision-making skills, strategic thinking, and effective communication. These skills have, in turn, fostered my commitment to transparency and social justice, which are now core values that I uphold in all my endeavors. I've come to expect accountability and fairness in any group or associa...

Guiltiness Makes You The Weaker

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga When you are guilty, you become weaker than the one you wronged. This is because guilt can lead to feelings of vulnerability, defensiveness, and anxiety, ultimately eroding your confidence and power in relationships. Avoid being on the wrong side of expectations. When you fail to meet expectations, whether intentionally or unintentionally, you can damage trust and credibility. This can lead to feelings of resentment and anger from others. Do not raise hopes that you will comply. Being transparent and honest about your intentions and capabilities is crucial. Avoid making promises or commitments that you may not be able to keep, as this can lead to disappointment and mistrust. It’s good to be open during deliberations. Open and honest communication is essential in any relationship or negotiation. Being transparent about your thoughts, feelings, and intentions can help build trust and foster constructive dialogue. Key principles to uphold: 1. Be firm...
