The author of No More Desert and How to find a perfect partner, Tovhowani Solomon Mbengwa, recently made a comeback onto the literary scene with the publication of Unconfusing The Confused.
The book “carries all the important things that will help everyone, including you, to be confused or not,” said Mbengwa.
He said that after the release of his first two books, he had received hundreds of messages from readers who all encouraged him to write more books because they were really touched and moved by his earlier works. “It gave me more strength to continue with my gift of writing,” said the author from the rural village of Makushu. “I hold the view that those who read know what to do, and those who know what to do, they do it best.”
He added: “In this dispensation, even a three-year-old child can see that we are indeed living in a confused era. What is happening in a Christians' life today, even the blind can see that we are lost. The present confusion gave me the courage to unconfuse our beloved brothers and sisters in the Lord, so that we can live a good Christian life.”
Mbengwa stated that he believed that everyone on the planet had a gift and that it took courage to recognise this. “The hardest part is to recognise one's gift, and once you have done that, you need to focus on developing and shaping that talent for the benefit of yourself and your fellow human beings,” he said. “I am very happy to see people supporting me in such a way that I only thank God.”
He said: “In this world, people enjoy different things, some enjoy music while others enjoy reading and more. That's where my courage started and I believe that God has brought me into this world to do something, and that there is a gift which he has invested in me that will help a lot of people out there.”

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.
