@chipochiroorwa Your Caps Lock key got stuck.

True, who do we tell now? That which we held sacred has been defiled and the majority suffer the consequences- scanty rains, inability to provide for out children etc. and we know who to blame pre and post independence. The song is valid for either.

Another Mapfumo gem and brings tears to the yes all the time when I reflect on the sacrifices and losses asi chabuda hapana except to those who occupy the top echelons of power then and now.

@AboubacarSiddikh I suppose it always gets stuck whe I have had one too manty. Very polite notice : please overlook the caps concemtrate on the overall message. Thanks Abs for noticing. I will try to wite when sober.

@mabharani1 I am just imagining in my head the scene. Those regime soldiers were fearsome, takatambura vanhu vatema and irs something these youngsters these days must never forget

@mabharani1 kana isu taienda kumusha na farai uzumba kwa chitimbe

[eemukwada]

Lead guitarist here is another of The Blacks Unlimited's greats: Leonard "Picket" Chiyangwa. Great song. Many memories. Am still looking forward to someone posting the original Mugarandega, not the reggae version. Please.

This a true master piece in its own league which no other local artist will enter. It reminds me coming from home (kumusha) by bus (Farayi Uzumba) - then all of a sudden coming off a bend - regime soldiers signalling the bus to stop. Passengers stretching their necks inorder to see in front and the conductor shouting - Garai pasi! - hamunzwe makaita seiko - vamwe venyu vachasara pano!
