An RnB artist from Madombidzha, Lufuno “Bokha” Mathabela (30), plans on releasing his third album later this year.
Mathabela says that music has always been in his blood. “I started to sing while I was still in high school in Grade 8,” he says. His dreams of producing his own album had to wait for a few years until such time as he could gather enough money to pay for the recording.
“I started to fall in love with music when I was inspired by my teacher. She was a sensational singer. Her voice was so eloquent,” he says.
According to Mathabela, he is receiving great support from his family and friends. “My parents are so supportive; they are my backbone. My friends have also been motivating me since I began this music journey,” he adds.
Mathabela has already released two albums, Vhuyani (come back) and Miloroni (dreams) and he also has one single called Aringa fani. His two albums have been well received by the local communities around Madombidzha.
The 22-year-old Mbulaheni (Gary) Ridovhona has been passionate about journalism to the extent that he would buy himself a copy of weekly Univen students' newsletter, Our Voice. After reading, he would write stories about his rural village, Mamvuka, and submit them to the very newsletter for publication. His deep-rooted love for words and writing saw him register for a Bachelor of Arts in Media Studies at the University of Venda, and joined the Limpopo Mirror team in February 2016 as a journalism intern.
