Written by FFF


Away from the Zimura legitimacy fights and bad publicity, the Zimura New Era Interim Board brought together members for appeal songs to fellow Zimbabweans. The two songs are directed at two current thematic issues, peace and drug abuse. 


Speaking to Phillip Chipfumbu the leader of the Zimura New Era pressure group who revealed that the songs are a dedication to Zimbabwe during the election period and beyond. Phillip went on to say that as musicians they are duty bound to spread messages of national reconciliation and responsibility among citizens.


The two songs were recorded on 26 July at Simba Studios in Westgate. The recording was done from 10 am to the following day at 8 am. I, Fred Farai Finto (FFF) coordinated the event. 20 musicians participated in the project that I believe our government and people of Zimbabwe are going to accept. The songs were composed and recorded right at the same time, you can't put together musicians and fail to get a song or two out of them.


The Zimura members put aside their grievances towards the Albert Nyathi led board at least for a moment to concentrate on the two masterpieces that are going to surprise the nation 


Many a times musical projects are initiated by promotion seeking administrators who usually are not musicians. This was a first for musicians to combine their talents and meagre resources in pursuance of national peace and responsibility among citizens.


The songs are now ready for mixing and mastering which Spokesperson of the Interim Board Bonface Manyonganise reiterated that the project was going to be useful especially during this election period. The songs have about 20 voices and  unknown Learn more Gandani the producer did justice.


Among the voices is Tete Pipilo of the sungura fame, a lot of people are going to appreciate that Tete is a complete musician of no doubt. The melodious Charity Dipa also gave her best vocals that the nation is going to sing along. A young man called Nduna spiced the project with his ethnic Ndebele style, given enough support Nduna will definitely become a national star. Pastor Madzogo added his prayer in the project on the peaceful song yet to be named. Munyaradzi Mupositori Muchetu added his voice too. 


The project is full of surprises, the nation and our region is going to benefit from especially the the anti drug abuse song. The sweet vocals from artists Langton Tapatapa, JK Power Mukoma Chari and Kisswell Chando are unmatched.


Besides being board members Bonface Manyonganise, Phillip Chipfumbu, Jane Marimo, Fred Farai Finto (FFF), Munyaradzi Mupositori Muchetu and Pastor Madzogo added equal value to the project. Other members who took part are Konias Madhombiro, Ja Prophet,  Machona, Dhibhura

Resilience: The Key to Navigating Life's Challenges

  Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga (FFF)   Life's no paradise – resources are scarce, competition's tough, and adversity's constant. But it's how we respond that defines us. Resilience is the ability to bounce back, to sweep away trouble and hold firm to gains. I once had a business in my 20s that did well in the short run, but when I sought support from a wealthy relative to expand, I was labelled lazy. I fought back, true to their word I became unpopular. Later, I realised people look at what you've achieved, not what you promise. I refocused, sought trusted support, and bounced back – refuting allegations of laziness. Each challenge's a battle; each win builds confidence. You don't start winning big battles, but small wins accumulate. Employers seek elasticity; vision falls on resilient people. As I was ridiculed and falsely accused, I gained favour with people in good time. Adversity may conquer, but bouncing back is resilience. Life's short. Elastic...

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...

Unavailability Of An Official Music Distribution System Depriving Upcoming Musicians.

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga FFF   Music is important to our lives, I personally would not function well if all the music in the world is quietened. Actually it’s naturally impossible to stop all music playing. Have you ever walked into a thick forest alone. An unknown bird will volunteer to entertain you. Maybe the ability to choose the music you prefer is what can be affected but otherwise music will always play,  no one can ever stop music. Singers and musicians get inspired by a lot of societal happenings, with the intention to inform, tell a story and entertain musicians reveal complicated issues that are not easily communicable in public. They make songs out of unpalatable subjects and mitigate their effects to the society in the process.  Oliver Mtukudzi sang Tozeza Baba. The song is a narration of children’s perception of their abusive father who beats up their mother. The children express how this vacuums out their happiness. Weather the song has been played ...
