Lazarus Sauti

Choreographer, performer and dancer Privilege Mupfurutsa fondly known in dancing circles as “Sekuru Gudo” is finalising work on his debut album.

The Brian Poison’s produced six track album is titled Chaputika (Explosion) and it touches on social issues that affect people in their day to day lives.

Some of the tracks on the album include ‘Isa Mafuta’, ‘Selina’ – a love song and ‘Mai Mwana’ (Club King).

Mupfurutsa said: “Chaputika is my debut album. I prepared this alum to educate and inform people on various social issues.”

On the title of the album, Mupfurutsa notes: “The whole idea is to introduce our group Explosion to all music loving Zimbabweans. The explosion team was very involved in the production of th album.”

He adds, “The plan of doing the album comes from the realisation that the group should provide a total entertainment package.

The group Explosion comprises ten members.

Peter Tinashe Kaviya, the group’s manager says the album is going to be launched on the weekend of 30 to 31st of August at Rat and Mouse outlet in Marondera. He further said the group will be performing with a live band for the first time.

“The group is going to launch its debut album in Marondera and the occasion is going to be graced by Itai Madzikure (Madiz), Diamond Musica, Roki and rhumba artist Papa T-Sheme,” explains Kaviya, adding, “We are taking thing a step further by not just recording but also doing stage performance using a live band.

“We are also going to launch three videos from the album,” Kaviya said.

Sekuru Gudo worked with Diamond Musica. The rhumba outfit is helping Mupfurutsa on vocals, instruments and stage performance.

Meanwhile, Explosion is in the process of acquiring its new equipment. It had already acquired drums, guitars and speakers.

Kaviya said, “The group wants to make sure that art is viable – it is trying to diversify. The group wants to have a share and claim its stake in the creative industry. This is why we introduced flavours of traditional dances, rhumba dances, house and kwaito dances into our act.”

He adds, “We want to maintain our status as the innovators of dancing and cement our place as one of the best professional groups in the country.”

Harare revelers should not be worried since the group is set to launch its album in the capital city after the Marondera show. The venue is yet to be confirmed.

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...

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.

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...
