ITWASfoolhardyforAndyMuridzotojoinJahPrayzah’s stable knowing too well that he has vested interests in the same music genre. The latter will reap where he did not sow as franchise fees, while the former plays a second fiddle. Being a copycat or carbon copy due to lackoforiginalitydoesnotnecessarilymeanhe should cowerandstoopsolownottobeamaninhisownright. If left unchecked, I fear it may cascade to matters of the heart.Alreadyhesustainedadentoflovechoice. — CTM.

Men need to be careful of minor girls who turn into early workers.

Oliver Mtukudzi’s music is valuable and relevant like proverbs that apply from yesterday, today and tomorrow. It cuts across ages and generations. Young musicians could do better by not only targeting audiences that only listen and dance to their beats when fuddled with alcohol.
Thatiswhytheyarestrugglingtopenetrateinternational markets. Most of these young musicians show a lot of indiscipline, they abuse drugs, alcohol and also dabble in promiscuous behaviour to draw attention thandevelopingtheirtalents.Soonwewillforgetthem andtheirmusicandlistentotheveteranofmusic,Oliver Mtukudziandmanyotherswhounderstandtheirbackgrounds why they sang or are singing. — 0777 361 034.

Recently I was helping my cousin sister with her homework. She is doing A-Level Arts at a local school, butwassoamazedthatsheusedphonesmslanguage in her essays. Our youngsters have now developed a new English language.
The shorthand has lead my sister to write essays which are senseless. The purpose of language is to communicate and as Mr Mtisi always say, the English Languagehasrulesandtheyhavetobefollowed.Surely thatmaybewhytheEnglishLanguagepass-rateisgoing down.

This year will be a refreshing change from the hunger-filled years because many farmers are expecting a bumper harvest.
