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 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.
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.

Kaligraph Jones (Kenya), Nasty C (SA), Runtown (Nigeria), Mr Bow(Mozambique), Liloca, Jami Band, Sami Dan, Laura Beg, EddyKenzo (Uganda), and so many more artistes that feature on the show.
The 22 year old “rockstar producer to look out for” as some like referring to him in the industry, started making music when he was 9, taught by his father, a producer in his own right who owns Hatfield based VOJ studios back in Zimbabwe. DLC is studying towards a degree in Music.
During his Zimbabwe Radio Tour in January 2019, Young DLC did promise to work with a couple of Zimbabwean artists.
The first artist happens to be Shinsoman, a popular Zimbabwe reggae/dancehall artist who came to prominence in 2013 with his hit song “Mawaya waya” which was a chart topper.
Shinsoman is also affectionately known as the “Dancehall Father” mainly due to the reference to the term in his song “Pool Party.”
Shinso once featured on Sanii Makhalima’s smash hit “Zvachose”. The collaboration gave him the much-needed exposure that many people began to notice.
The dancehall sensation went on to be signed by Heshi Mufeshi Records. Under the label, Shinsoman released hits singles “Mawaya Waya” and “Bata Panorwadza”.
It is his unique husky voice that made him a force to reckon with in the tightly contested Zimbabwe dancehall genre. Shinsoman broke new ground by becoming one of the few dancehall chanters to sing alongside a live band. He unveiled his band in March 2014.
Speaking about this collaboration, Shinsoman said he looks forward to his new working relationship with young DLC to grow his footprint into the African market.
Young DLC’s manager, Tendai Joe said,” We are always watching what is happening back in Zimbabwe. There is potential to do more with Zim artists and we are impressed by professionalism exhibited by Shinso whilst recording this song.”

The National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) date has been moved again following a directive from the Government of Zimbabwe to cancel or postpone all government events.
Initially, the NAMAs were supposed to be held on 16 February 2019 and were moved to 23 March 2019 in a move that Zimbuzz suspected was a move to have a grand Tuku tributed at the HICC.
Due to the devastating effect of Cyclone IDAI which has claimed more than 100 lives in Chimanimani and other parts of the country, the Ministry of Youth, Sport, Arts And Recreation has decided to cancel the award ceremony.
“The 18TH National Arts Merit Awards (NAMA) date has been moved to 13 April 2019. As a Ministry, together with our parastatal the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe, we took the decision based on the current national situation of the effects of the natural disaster, cyclone IDAI that have claimed lives and vastly destroyed properties,” read a statement from Minister Kirsty Coventry.
“Cognisant that we are a culture Ministry that values unhu/ubuntu, we saw it noble that we move the awards ceremony and join the rest of fellow Zimbabweans in assisting the affected families.
“My Ministry sincerely apologises to the Sector, Corporates, Events Manager AB Communication, the public and nation at large for inconveniences caused by this development.
We assure that the ceremony will be held accordingly as had been planned at Harare International Conference Centre,” said the Minister.
My deepest longing for your presence bears no criminal intentions cause every macho of a man and kung fu fighter of a man can never stand ground let Alone take a chance with the arrows of Cupid but who am I to pose a threat and take a chance with the arrows of Cupid… I might as well be stupid.”
He paints a vivid mental picture as he uses graphic narratives to address the topic of a love-stricken man.
The man is unapologetic as he impactfully asserts his feelings through the use of decisive, direct and bold language outpouring his feelings.
/It kinda sucks though cause when you stuck in the friend zone it ain’t too much of a comfort zone cause / how do you express yourself to someone who cares less on the way you feel let alone your well being for all you know you could be in a state of oblivion/
Inspired by Kelly Rowland’s song Be Gentle ft Tiziano Fero the poem is captured in visuals that features Zimbabwean personalities singer Cindy Munyavi and fragrance owner Summer Rose.

“Cindy and Summer rose are talented souls from their beauty to personalities all of these defy logic, to be honest and they fit the moulds of what I was trying to portray,” explains Munnya on the signifcance of using the two’s images in the video.
The poet who says he already has about 20 other unpublished pieces explains how difficult it was coming up with poem 2 Dimensions
“The poem itself is about 1000 words long, 5 minutes of pure recitals so the time to record was just over 10 hours and a further 120 minutes editing..so you can imagine the stress the repetition and costs,” he said.
All 13 actors of the main cast were displayed on the originally released poster, but only 12 names were credited.
Actress Danai Gurira’s name was left entirely out of the top billing, and instead cited in small font at the bottom credits.
You might not see at first glance, but fans did not take long to notice her name was missing.
Here’s the original poster.
Following outrage toward the studio’s decision to make the 41-year-old Zimbabwean-American actress the only character to appear on the poster but not have her name above it, Marvel quickly backtracked on Thursday.
“She should have been up there all this time,” said the studio’s official account, while issuing a new poster with Gurira’s name included.
