Profiled by Fred Farai Nyakudanga (FFF)


Ginatsiya Nyanhete Aka, Jah Lemmy is a talented and humble Afro Trade Musician born 36 years ago in Mbizo. He is of Korekore origin, Jah Lemmy comes from Guruve.


He started his career when he was about 10 years old, by mimicking the late Oliver Mutukudzi as well as the Blacks Unlimited Boss, Thomas Mapfumo. Jah Lemmy’ parents did not pay attention as they considered it as noise, they discouraged him initially. Later on they realised it was really his talent and they started giving him support.


In 2008 a well wisher donated a set of Marimba to Jah Lemmy after realising his passion in music. Jah Lemmy' friends came through to learn how to play marimba, this prompted the formation of Guruve Marimba Arts Ensemble.

 

Jah Lemmy took leadership of the band. He managed to take the band to Chibuku road to fame twice, the band came second in the first competition out of the ten competitors that represent the 10 provinces of our country. The band finally scooped the number one position. This led to the band’s meeting with Dr Oliver Mtukudzi who applauded the choice of the traditional music genre. 


Jah Lemmy in 2013 consulted the late Oliver Mtukudzi MHSRIP on the path to follow. Jah Lemmy and his band were enrolled for the Masanga Bodo Production. Dr Mtukudzi took the band through a series of rehearsals. This motivated Jah Lemmy to record his first Album in 2017. 


Jah Lemmy’ vision is to change people’s lives through his music. He also wishes to preserve the traditional musical instruments and the music as well.

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.

Rev Kamupira was a very respectful person who ...

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...

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...
