[Ndakanatswa]

@princesspee12 Hahahhaa! Shuwa, wataura chokwadi! I had forgotten how we used to stay up ALL NIGHT just to see which song would be number 1!!! LOL. Oh dear! Such simple pleasures!

[eycebreiicher]

This a real classic ... with good lyrics. It will be an all time great.

[eycebreiicher]

This is a real classic......with all time truths

[mhosvaify]

this song should be relaunched

[Driedroz]

luv it. tatenda!!

[steelchill]

Strange thing is that ladies like/d his songs, i don't.The guy does reasonably well on instruments by Zim standards but his vocals resemble a constant desperate moan from beyond the desert dune, one is thus prompted to buy urgent funeral insurance for the whole family and just give up, he puts too much sense in one song, i'm sure madofo akamuvenga, i ain't one though. Kana ndafunga chikoro ndinoenda kuvarsity, my his fans forgive me....

[steelchill]

This guy started his musical career with Thomas Makion, as Maungwe Brothers,they were very good, their music sounds/ed similar to Dendera coz they all were heavily influenced by old Congolese Soukuss. Watch a very old video by a Congolese Tchiko Tchikaya called Vanessa on Yu-Tube, and also Kanda Bongoman, yu'll see where Zhaks copied the image of double belts, glittering clothes, hat, dance yekuputsika/like falling down, the kwa kwa beat at mid-song...

[Ndakanatswa]

@steelchill Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Asikana! LOL @ "I'm sure madofo akamuvenga". Your comment is hilarious, but I just love this song! To me, it's pure genius!

[steelchill]

Thomas Makion did well too after the split, produced hits that competed with Zhakatas at Radio 3 top 20, e.g Kuparara Kwenyika, Chisvo Chasavara, most of his songs are invisible on the shelves.He was later on Jailed, died immediately after release. Reports are that Zhaks and Makion were cousins but there was animosity between them, they both wre speculated of dissing each other thru some of their songs, e.g (Unondivengerei hama yangu) by Zhaks,

[daisy83i]

it reminds m of our days pagrowth point. zvanga zvakaoma

[wilthwa]

dont understand a word , but its like crying ,longing or complaing about something very very common or important. nevertheless it rocks.

[milliemass]

@wilthwa he's singing about capitalism and oppression of the poor by the rich and how he longs to be able to provide well for his family and take care of his mother and stop suffering.

your instincts were right on!

[munyamunos]

Zhakata is a social philosopher par excellence! His lyrics are so pregnant with complex socio-economic thought. Maybe that's why most Zimbos never understood him & dismissed him as someone who only sings about "nhamo". I love this guy's lyrics and style...

[Zimbo4life1]

Zhakata is classic, vakomana muGrowth Point tapedza kufudza mombe holiday kuZim yainakidza

[MrDhibha]

Highly political song, talks about coruption and abuse of power by ZANU PF.Its sort of an indirect attack.Its said the song was inspired by funding from the British GVN.

[samajazz]

could someone please translate,i do speak shona but very basic,enough just to make conversation....

[TT19731]

means alot. was the hit on workers/labour day. well done

[macpheesa]

venda was craze about this song this festive season in cars radios and in jukeboxes, this song just rock

[molly1082]

chovha chovha mwana we Zim. this is fab im all teary eyed, God bless our Country, seriously. love it love it!! (whistles)!!!!

[dude11905]

@ai3711 iwe usaite kunge hauna kumbobvira waita shona kuchikoro mhani

[ai3711]

@dude11905 jelous is a freedom of fooools.u cant just compiment

[ai3711]

His proverbs needs thinkinkn twice to clearly understand.He should be having a shona degree i think.......NICE.

[Chakabva]

Ah  aha, Mupfanha muhombe..

[patience1833]

this song no matter the message memories spell xmas for me.Zhakata a true poet.

[nyamukondiwa]

luv the song, takes me back when Chibetu and Zhakata were the best.. but man his songs are way too long.. 10 min wow

[jeszif]

oh ma gosh ive never realised he had a hat on with the union jack on hahahaha maihwe!!

[iluvdng07]

lol, i just saw it too. :D

[3mumofdtd]

do you think it had a significance to countries with extreme wealth not wanting to share with others. it could of also be addressing those in power within our country.nice lyrics

[iluvdng07]

@3mumofdtd

I never thought of that, but it could. That's some pretty good analysis.

[KassProductionz]

why does he have a Union Jack on his hat? I've seen this a thousand and only just noticed it now

[BennyBape]

Mkoma Lenso vanoketa manje ...do you hear the wisdom in this song, telling some people to clean up their act ...so political ..this is true wisdom...the meaning is not on the surface but behind doors only he who is of understanding will draw the meaning. This was so prophetic...now most Zimbos realise why this song should have been heakerned to long time ago!

[tattyjokym]

the good old daiz

[rueluv82]

i remember dancing to song way back in95 mufunction ..never deduced a deeper meaning back then!

[macpheesa]

the music is cool but its not that loud can you please post one with clear or perfect sound please

[macpheesa]

the dance is cool

[tzitzy]

this song reminds of christmas as a kid in zim

[tatemunja]

@tzitzy me 2:)

[jamesbond1157]

@tzitzy Where are now,New York?

[MrMafirakureva]

Obviusly the greatest to come out from this humble,cool and charming young man.We expect more.

[ConfidentBelle]

As political as it gets lol. What a wise man! He was speaking of what would be and what has come to pass, you don't need any more wisdom than that. Thank you Zhakata for seeing what many could not see at that time. Modern day prophet indeed. Let this be a lesson to many.

[Bluerribbon]

you look great zhakata in that attire :)

where can i get one of those "money bags" to wear around my waist everyday, and yea, also the purple silk shirt with sunglasses! ha ha ha

[dkautomovers]

can never be true.chopper was good but he never wrote songs that touched pple's hearts as much as zhakatas songs.pakunyora no1 comes close to zhakata,not even the two legends mkanya,tuku.i dont think he stole nothing.

[wamambotiger]

[2000S3000E]

I love Zhakata. His songs always have a really good message. The outfits are killing me, but I guess that was his artist vision! Thanks for sharing.

[africanangel81]
