Jah Prayzah’s Band Member Fatima Releases New Single

Her vocals are dominating and her smile is charming and it is hard to imagine Jah Prayzah’s 3rd Generation Band without Famita Katiji.

At work we know her as Stimela and hers has been a talent that has remained in the shadows for far too long.

On Tuesday she dropped suprised many by dropping her solo projected in the form a of a single titlted Gara Ndichauya.

And no, this does not mean that she is leaving her backing vocalist job in the band, she is still part of the vision and has the full support of her boss Jah Prayzah.

Information on the Youtube Channel clearly shows that Gara Ndichauya has the full backing of JP and in fact could be part of the big picture for Military Touch Movement
(MTM).

The song itself was produced by MTM man Rodney Beatz and was recorded at JP Studios with distribution by Military Touch Movement. The cover photography was done by Jah Prayzah’s manager Keen Mushapaidze.

And Jah tweeted his feelings about the song

Now that we have cleared that part, let’s talk about the song.

The song discusses a sitiuation which a men had guaranteed his better half that he would wed her and they would get the chance to raise their family together.

But the man vanishes and abandons her clinging to the guarantee yet he never returns to satisfy his guarantee.

In the song Fatima proves to be a possessor of superior songwriting skills and as she lays her melodies with gently calming effect.

Its difficult to listen to the song and not think about Chiwoniso as Fatima navigates her lyrics on the mbira instrument blended with Brian Tsiga’s signature guitar.

Brian Tsiga is also a member of the 3rd Generation band and the chemistry is evident through out the 5 minute long song.

Word has it that Fatima has a few other songs in her quiver and she might drop an album sooner than we think.

Enjoy Gara Ndichauya and tell us what you think

St Georges College Rugby team leaves for tour to Kingswood, Grahamstown

Traditional rugby powerhouse St George’s College who are affectionally known as the dragons left today for a week-long rugby tour in the Eastern Cape, South Africa.

The Dragons will take part in the Kingswood 125th Jubilee Rugby festival which runs from  6 April to 10 April.

St Georges will be using this festival as a dress rehearsal of the upcoming school’s rugby season where they hope to better than last year.

Zimbuzz Sports managed to catch up with their head coach Brendon Brider before departure and had this to say “ I mainly looking forward to knowing my players better and what they capable of doing on this tour.

Also to look the little we’ve worked on in terms of practice, we also will evaluate our systems and see what needs to change leading into the season” he said.

The Dragons tour opener is on Saturday at 2 pm in the afternoon against Hilton college from who have a rich sporting history and have produced like of ex-Springbok captain Bob Skinstad.

St George’s second match is pencilled Monday 8 April against Eastern cape giants Graeme College who play a similar brand of rugby as St Georges college and is poised to be an intriguing encounter. Especially the battle between the two backlines who have massive pace.

The Dragons wrap up their tour with a date with Clifton from Durban and on paper, this looks like the easier fixture of the entire trip. It’s a clash that could go either way on the day.

Andy Muridzo rejoins Military Touch Movement

Following his acrimonious depature from Jah Prayzah’s ambitious Military Touch Movement project, Andy Muridzo is headed back home.

The musician left the stable in March 2018 barely a year after appending his signature to the record label.

Andy had no kind words for his former boss when he decided to terminate his contract.

“I no longer want anything to do with MTM. I want out. Rather, I’m practically out but still with them on paper. I have a five-year contract that I signed last year though I’m working on terminating it,” he told the Sunday Mail in March 2018.

“Not a single thing I was promised on the contract has been fulfilled. Actually, Jah Prayzah wants all the good things for himself. He is not willing to assist others and is not a saint as most of you imagine him to be.”

However Baba Keketso has had a change of heart following closed door meetings that are believed to have been held sometime last December.

It is not yet clear though what has caused this u-turn but Zimbuzz has it on good record that Muridzo travelled to Nigeria in February this year to record a duet with Tiwa Savage, the collabo is part of the package that came with his new contract.

He is also set to travel to France to shoot the video to the song with Tiwa titled ‘Mamuda Wangu’

MTM manager, Keen Mushapaidze promised to get back to Zimbuzz with a written response confirming the contract.

Andy Muridzo on the other hand just confimed the new song.

“Yes, I have a new song featuring Tiwa Savage and it’s going to be on my new album Shiri yamambo,” he told Zimbuzz.

“I can’t comment on the Military Touch Movement issue, you will need to contact Keen for that.”

Ladies and gentlemen you have been FOOLED, Happy Fools’ Day

#NewVideo: Ndozvinoita Nyasha – A Beautiful Love Story told in Song

The gospel of grace is woven all throughout this moving song by Jonah Chivasa and Chelsea Mguni.

In an era where some of the best grace-based songs have been released ‘Ndozvinoita Nyasha’ sets itself apart as the video adds nuance and specificity to a familiar theme.

Directed by Simba Gee and produced by Macdonald Macdee Chidavaenzi the song takes listeners through a worship and praise experience as it pulls on the expertise of fellow artist Bulawayo based Chelsea Mguni.

The video starts off in a rather tragic way, a couple appears to have been runover by a car as they attempted to cross the road.

The two main characters’ stories is then told in flashback as we watch a journey of their past come to life.

Apart from the musically intoxicating beat and melodies the songs takes the listener through a retrospective look of a love story told in gospel.

It’s a typical boy meets girl story and love butterflies taking, the couple is just as poor but the grace of God kicks in and in no time the boy pays lobola and subsequently throws a big wedding.

Fast forward to the beginning of the video the happy new weds are then involved in a accident..

What follows is the true miracle of Grace as told in the song and story…We will not spoli it for you

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer Appointed Permanent Manchester United Manager

Ole Gunnar Solskjær has been appointed as the permanent manager of Manchester United on a three-year contract after a successful period in interim charge.

The club confirmed his appointment as United manager on their official website.

“From the first day I arrived, I felt at home at this special club,” Solskjær said. “It was an honour to be a Manchester United player, and then to start my coaching career here.

“The last few months have been a fantastic experience and I want to thank all of the coaches, players and staff for the work we’ve done so far.

This is the job that I always dreamed of doing and I’m beyond excited to have the chance to lead the club long-term and hopefully deliver the continued success that our amazing fans deserve.”

Ed Woodward, United’s executive vice-chairman, said: “Since coming in as caretaker manager in December, the results Ole has delivered speak for themselves.

“More than just performances and results, Ole brings a wealth of experience, both as a player and as a coach, coupled with a desire to give young players their chance and a deep understanding of the culture of the club. This all means that he is the right person to take Manchester United forward.”

The Norwegian was drafted in following Jose Mourinho’s sacking and was due to stay in interim charge until summer but he’s produced managerial heroics since being in caretaker charge.

He has taken United into the last eight of the Champions League by beating Paris Saint-Germain and has put the side in strong contention for a top-four finish. He went 12 matches unbeaten in the Premier League before a defeat at Arsenal in early March.

ZIFA President speaks on Stadium Chaos

The Zimbabwe Football Association (ZIFA) has expressed its gratitude to the thousands of supporters who thronged the giant National Sports stadium to cheer the warriors to victory against Congo and their subsequent qualification to the 2019 Egypt Total  Africa Cup of Nations finals.

The Warriors qualified for their fourth Africa Cup of Nations following a win over Congo Brazzaville in a Group G qualifying match played at the National Sports Stadium Sunday.

However the victory was overshadowed by the sad loss of life following the death of a female fan in a stampede before kick off.

“Our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of a Warriors supporter who lost her life at the National Sports Stadium on 24 March,” said the ZIFA President Felton Kamabo.

“We cannot imagine what those she left behind are going through in this difficult moment of grief. The death of our supporter saddens us as the mother body because we will never have her support at our matches again.

“The ZIFA Leadership yesterday (Monday)  visited the family of the deceased  to commiserate with the family .

ZIFA has also contributed towards the funeral expenses of the deceased supporter.

Stampeding at entry points has become a threat that may scare away passionate supporters from our stadia and ZIFA has promised to investigate the reasons behing the chaos.

“As an association, we shall exhaustively investigate factors behind the stampede on 24 March.It is concerning when lives are lost at events that are supposed to be celebratory and entertainment oriented.

“We apologise for the mayhem at the point of entry. We wish speedy recovery to the injured.We shall also continue to improve our admission systems at entry points so that fans can enter the stadium more swiftly to avert long queues,” said Kamambo.

Chakakosha kuziva kuti Denga rina Mambo. Mune zvese tikaisa minamato kwavari tinokunda.”

Shot in Nyanga and Kariba the video shows a tormented Jah Prayzah being dragged by life’s challenges and features a female cast who own every lyric in the song and leaves nothing on the table.
