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.

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...

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...

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...
