Phathutshedzo “Mickeyblack” Munyadziwa (18) is a passionate and versatile singer who grew up in Vuwani. Her focus genre is RnB.
Mickeyblack’s parents and brother were the first people to notice her singing talent when she was only in the sixth grade in 2015. One day she performed at a social event at Tshivhulana Primary School and the audience were very impressed with her singing.
“Singing has become a part of my life and I enjoy it very much,” she said. “To me, music is the only thing that brings sense to people who might have lost hope. It is a one-in-a-million part of my life. I believe that music with the right lyrics can truly change people’s mindsets for the better.”
She is inspired and motivated by her fans and respects them for it. “My mentors, who are also my number one fans, are my parents, who are also good at singing. They have smartened me up in terms of this whole music industry,” she said. “Lady Zamar is my favourite singer. What she does is way too legit and her voice on the microphone is another thing.”
As an upcoming artist, Mickeyblack’s focus, dedication and determination to keep her music real to the people have seen her gain popularity not only among young people, but adults as well.
“The first track that I recorded and released was Nothing Better (produced by Van Gee Beatz),” she said. “Before it was released, I was so nervous about how people would receive the song, because it was my first one.”
However, Nothing Better gained massive reception in the music industry and succeeded in making a name for the young star.
She also composed and released more songs, such as Kwanele (featuring Rude Kid Venda).

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.
