To honour women and celebrate Valentine's Day, the Munzhedzi Tshamutilikwa UAAC Choir, one of the oldest Apostolic Gospel groups in Limpopo, released a new single titled “Takadzana Nae”, which translates to “Make her happy”.
The single was recorded at Ishy Malala’s TSHAU Studio at Tshaulu outside Thohoyandou in September last year but was officially launched at the Tshamutilikwa UAAC Branch on 14 February.
Choir leader and spokesperson Pastor Zacharia Munzhedzi said the launch was purposely delayed to coincide with Valentine's Day. “Women form an integral part of our church and the community. We have honoured them and given them all the respect they deserve. We felt the song would be meaningless if not launched on a special day. This is the best Valentine’s Day present for all women out there,” he said.
The Munzhedzi Tshamutilikwa UAAC choir was formed by musician Mr. Zacharia Munzhedzi a long time ago, but waited until 2005 to release their first professional album “Tahulela Ndila”. They have since released 13 other albums and four DVDs.
Presently, the group has 45 members, but over the years, many have come and gone.
The group has been nominated for numerous awards, including the prestigious Tshivenda Music Awards, and has also performed at events such as the Royal Gardens Festival. The group was also a familiar sight during the heydays of Black Leopards, entertaining fans during matches at Thohoyandou Stadium.

Skilled guitarist and Tshivenda traditional-music star Thiathu Netshikweta, from Hamakhuvha village near Matatshe, is a worried man. The reason for his worry is that part of his life has been destroyed in what he believes is misfortune meant to test his bravery in the music industry.
Mr Thomas Ndou, better known as “TT” Ndou of Misevhe B, has found his niche in making clay pots. Not only does his new trade allow him to be creative, but it also enables him to supplement his income.
Musician Martin B has come out strongly against children who do not listen to their parents, stating that they will never achieve anything good in life.
A message of hope for pensioners who think that after retirement they must sit around doing nothing at home comes from Mr. Josias Netshikovhela (69) of Pile in the Niani area, who started a new life as a wood carver after his retirement.
