Compilation album on the cards


Lazarus Sauti

A new kid on the block, Dee20 Studios is working on a debut 12 track compilation album that is expected to be launched soon. The producer of the album is Dickson Mandota aka Bizzy Dee. Nine artists are working on the album and Weh-reh (Ascend), winners of Imagine International Festival (2013) and Chibuku Road to Fame is one of the groups expected to feature.

The producer said included in the album is a tribute to the late Tendai Mupfurutsa. The track is titled ‘Respect’ and it was composed by Bizzy Dee and Ike.

Mandota said, “We are yet to come up with the title of the album but what I can say is that we are doing this project to identify talent, record artists for free and to nurture them to be established artists.”

Precious Musarurwa, Miss Zimbabwe top 8 Finalist 2004 is the co-producer and composer of the album. She is also responsible for marketing and production of the compilation album.

She said: “We have passion with arts therefore we are identifying talent and help artists to record. We are not doing this project to make money out of the artists but we are doing it passionately to build our brand stable.”

Musarurwa adds, “Since the album is expected to hit the market in the beginning of September, we want to help artists under our stable to register with Zimura.”

Bizzy Dee is not new to the music scene. He was mentored by Tendai Mupfurutsa at High Density Studios in 1997. At the stable, he produced one of Mupfurutsa’s popular tracks ‘Character’ when he was still a junior in the industry.

Mandota’s seniors at High Density Studios take in Clancy Mbirimi, Kuda Matimba and Noel Zembe. He managed to work on Simon Chimbetu’s projects, specifically Hoko and African Panorama Chapter 2 and he also produced Diamond Musica’s track Sinamakosa.

From High Density Studios, Mandota joined ESP Studios where he produced Tendai Manatsa and Selmor Mutukudzi’s first albums. At ESP Studios, Mandota also produced Filbert Marowa, Victor Kunonga; Bulawayo based group Amavitikazi and South African artist Fred Gwala.

Why the hell are men and women prepared to poison themselves for sex?

Lazarus Sauti Tim Marufu uses Congo dust, a sex enhancing drug from the Democratic Republic of Congo, to prolong his erection. He said the aphrodisiac, which is rubbed on the male organ, results in lengthy sex rounds. “ NeCongo dust unoanchor mudhara, unochimhanya (With Congo dust you can enjoy length sex sessions). “ Uyu mushonga wechikwapuro; ukangozora chete simbi yako inozhamba (This drug is powerful. If you properly apply it, your partner will cry in bed),” said Marufu, adding that “the powder prolongs an erection for up to an hour if applied correctly.” Explaining how Congo dust works, he says, “You just take a pinch and rub it at the tip of your organ at least three hours before being intimate.” During the process of an erection, he added, the penis enlarges and stiffens as a result of changes within muscles, nerves and blood vessels of the organ . Marabha, a vendor who sells Congo dust at Cnr. 7 th and Samora Ave in Harare, says Congo dust comes i...

Battered Men: The Hidden Side of Domestic Violence

Lazarus Sauti Maxwell Svedhani (34), a father of two girls from Bhora Juru Growthpoint, Mashonaland East Province, is living a hell of a life as he is mentally, physically and also sexually abused by Runako, her violent wife of nine years. “My wife hits me with her fists, kicks, burns, slams, punches, pushes and bites me in front of our children. On top of that, she oftenly threatens and intimidates me, denies me sex and food as well as locks me out of the house,” he said. Svedhani added that his wife belittles his abilities and competencies, initiates name-calling insults, and silently treats him in addition to subverting his relationship with the children. The battered man, who attempted homicide for four times, is suffering in silence and mostly fears for his children who are witnessing the violence as it is perpetrated by his wife on a daily basis. “My major trepidation is that my two precious girls who are witnessing this violence in our home might develop sig...

Education is key to sustainable development

Lazarus Sauti The ability for everyone to have equal opportunity in education, regardless of their social class, ethnic background or physical disabilities is an enabler of a knowledge-based economy. A knowledge-based economy is a system in which knowledge is created, acquired, transmitted, and used more effectively by individuals, companies, and communities to promote economic and social development. It relies on the use of ideas rather than physical abilities and on the application of technology rather than the exploitation of cheap labor. Accordingly, the time is now right for all Africans to help improve education because it is a key contributor to the continent’s socio-economic growth. Vice President of Zimbabwe, Joice Mujuru believes that youths should take education seriously and shun social vices that hinder them from attaining higher positions in life. “The only tool that can empower any person for the challenges ahead is education and discipline is impor...
