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.  


Jah Lemmy appreciates that music is a thorny journey with obstacles too, he is patiently taking each day as it comes. He is prepared to endure to stardom. Jah Lemmy is producing music and videos his fans are so pleased with, his fan base is increasing locally and internationally.

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-...
