Tukuu was just that, AN EXCEPTIONAL TALENT, UNIQUE and ORIGINAL!

He seemed so casual — sitting on a bar stool behind the Tiny Desk, acoustic guitar in hand — but when you hear that husky voice, you'll know why he's a legen...

Freeman's Warned and Cautioned Statement. The musician was interviewed by the Zimbabwe Republic Police's CID Homicide unit.

The statement is too long though and it reads like a PR press release.

Peter Moyo exhibits maturity in music on new album.

By Tinotendaishe Mawoyo

Peter Moyo showcases musical maturity on his latest album, "Mwana wa Mambo" (Son of a King), effectively silencing critics who doubted his talent. The six-track album is a tribute to his father, Tongai Moyo, and demonstrates his musical growth. It opens with "Igwe," a fusion of Rhumba and Bongo flavor, with hints of Congolese influence.

The second track, "Ndangariro" (Memories), features allegorical lyrics that may challenge shallow listeners. "Zuva remuchato" highlights the hope of a better marital life post-wedding, though the intro could benefit from smoother arrangement. "Ndiwe Urikupisa" is a love song dedicated to his wife, Caroline Rutendo Makamache, while "Hatina Nguva" serves as a plea for forgiveness and repentance.

Despite a minor technical issue in "Hatina Nguva," the album is well-arranged and emotionally powerful. Peter Moyo's songs reflect his deep appreciation for God's grace and continue his father's musical legacy, making it a rebirth of Tongai Dewa Moyo's work and a resurgence of Peter Moyo in the music industry.

American gospel artist Tasha Cobbs who was set to perform at Moses Mabida Stadium in Durban, South Africa on Saturday will no longer be performing. This recent development also follows the postponement and later, cancellation of a Burna Boy's show who was scheduled to perform on the the same day in Johannesburg.

A lot of reasons have been given by different stakeholders but is there more than just technicalities?

JOHANNESBURG - Former President Jacob Zuma will not be returning to prison.

Correctional Services Minister Ronald Lamola outlined this decision to members of the media in Hatfield, Pretoria on Friday morning.

In July, the Constitutional Court upheld the Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA)'s ruling that former Correctional Services Commissioner Arthur Fraser’s 2021 decision to grant Zuma medical parole just two months into his 15-month contempt sentence was unlawful.That ruling left it to Makgothi Thobakgale, who was appointed acting commissioner after Fraser’s term of office subsequently came to an end, to decide if the time Zuma had spent on medical parole should count as time served regardless.

Ultimately, though, he’s now been granted a remission of his sentence.

The Department of Correctional Services said that he was one of thousands of inmates who'd been granted such a remission in a bid to alleviate overcrowding in prisons.

Dwane The Rock Johnson shared this..

We’ve never met but I had to fly to Miami to look this man in the eyes, hug him and shake his hand. I’ve been moved & motivated by his story ❤️

He recently won his first fight in the .

He had $7 bucks in his bank account when he won.

He sleeps on a couch in the gym.

After the fight, he sold his fight gear (trunks & gloves) on line and made $7,000. Instead of using the money to find a place to live, he built a bush pump so his village back in Zimbabwe can have clean water.

He never asked me for anything, but I just wanted to help the guy out. $7 Bucks ya know.

And I felt the MANA & emotion in every hug 😊💪🏾

Very good and very special day.
