His hopes and dreams is to inspire the future generation, hence the title of the CD. It is his second album. The first one, Madfam, was released in 2016. The new CD consists of eight tracks, with Monalisa, 3am in the city, Candy Magidimisa and Cyril Ramaphosa among the songs.
Nemakonde added that, with the track Cyril Ramaphosa, he was embracing the fact that Ramaphosa is the first Venda president, saying none have ever dreamt that the country will be ruled by a Venda person, who was born and bred in dusty village of Khalavha.
He further said that, with the track Candy Magidimisa, who is one of the actors of the Muvhango Tshivenda soapie, he acknowledges his role model. She also his every day support system.

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.
