An award-winning reggae artist, Tendani Maiwashe (39), better known as Jah Soldier, has just released a new CD, Ndi a Livhuwa, meaning I thank you.
He was born and bred in Mbilwi-Makanga village near Sibasa. He said that the CD comprised nine tracks. Some of the songs on the CD are Youth and drugs, Hu dolwa vhone, Vhule-Vhule, the title track, Ndi a Livhuwa, Tsha mahola, Mudzimu ndi lufuno (God is Love) and Thukhukhanya
“On the title track, Ndi a Livhuwa, I was thanking God for the blessings I received with the previous album, Nndededze. The album received a TSHIMA for the best Tshivenda reggae artist of 2015 and was also nominated for a SATMA Award in the same year.
He said on the track Hudolwa vhone he wanted to tell his fans that only God could fight all the fights for his children whenever they encountered hardships. On the track Vhule-vhule he said he was praising his mother for the upbringing, protection and guidance throughout his life.
On the track, Mudzimu Ndi Lufuno (God is love), he said he wanted people to trust and live by Agape love (which is God’s love), because with God’s love there was no failure and enmities.
All songs were composed by Jah Soldier and recorded at Burning Shack Studio in Thohoyandou and produced by Mulalo Mukwevho.

The revival of Tshivenda traditional music is not just the pipe dream of some idealists. Judging by the turnout during a meeting held in Thohoyandou this past weekend, this form of music is about to undergo a major revival.
Tshivenda traditional-music lovers are in for a treat with a collaboration between Tshivenda traditional music legend and veteran Solomon Mathase and popular poet and guitarist Dzomo la Venda. The two were spotted on Saturday, 20 April, at a function in Thohoyandou where they showcased their talents during a live performance.
During a Sunday sermon, Bishop Johannes Muofhe of the World Mission Church’s Fondwe branch prophesied that a musician, someone other than a member of the worship team, would emerge from the church.
With a successful roots-reggae album titled “Shandukani” to his name, Fhatuwani Richard Mashele is quickly becoming a household name in South African music. Better known as Jah Saint in music circles, Mashele believes that success does not come overnight and that one must work hard to earn it.
