Fellowship set for dizzy heights


Lazarus Sauti

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age (Matthew 28: 19-20). This great command is pushing a youthful group to spread the word of God through music.

Fellowship, a Seventh Day Adventist acappella group is spreading the word of God through music. The seven member group from New Mabvuku Church is helping the evangelism wing of the church movement by spreading the word through their performances at concerts and weddings.

“Fellowship is a group of passionate young SDA Church members who love to sing for the Lord,” remarks the group’s director Tendai Musimbe.

He adds, “We are currently working on our debut album and we are promoting some of our tracks during events such as weddings and concerts.”

However, lack of funding is hindering the group to quickly release its first album. “Our biggest challenge is getting funding to record our music. We are eager to quickly release our music to the world,” Musimbe notes.

Despite financial challenges, he said the group will continue with music since it promotes positive behaviour among people.

“Regardless of financial challenges, we are going to work hard and continue with our music since our songs are there to express faith, devotion and praise to God,” says Tafadzwa Nembaware Hove, the group’s spokesperson.

The group’s mouthpiece goes on to say: “Fellowship – a close association of friends sharing similar interests – is a blessing to the Mabvuku community. We are helping people in need through community services and visitations.”

He adds: “Our visits are not limited to Adventists only. We are showing non Adventists our religious work through the use of music and our visits.”

Established in 2009, Fellowship members are all affiliates of the SDA Church. The group comprises Tendai Musimbe (lead), Tafadzwa Nembaware Hove (first tenor), Masimba Mack (baritone), Ngoni Mudadi (lead), Nicholas Musiyakurima (bass), Pedzisai Mangwiro (bass) and Blessing Musimbe (first tenor).

The youthful outfit believes that it is expressing its spiritual and personal communal with God through music and the group’s director urged other musical outfits to use their God given talent to evangelise for God.

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...
