Gospel musician Tatenda Mahachi, who was appointed ambassador of Care at the Care of Humanity (CATCH), a private voluntary organisation last month has released a video for his song “Vanochema” which he dedicated to vulnerable children. The video is centred on the plight of children who stay with abusive parents and it encourages parents to raise their children in a conducive environment that enables them to grow into responsible citizens.
In an interview with The Herald Entertainment, Mahachi said the video is one of his ambassadorial duties bestowed on him by CATCH to pass the message of the dangers of child abuse.
“As an ambassador for an organisation which stands for children rights, it is one of my duties also as a musician to be the watch dog of children especially those from abusive families.
“Music is an appealing tool so I have decided to use it to raise awareness on child abuse,” he said.
CATCH serves to ensure that children are safe and are able to get rehabilitation when they get abused or when they commit offences.
It also upholds human dignity of young people, ensuring that their needs are met in a safe and enabling environment that promotes gender equality.
Meanwhile, Mahachi who is working on his fourth album to be released early next year, is set to attend this year’s edition of the South African Music Awards (SAMA), where he have been invited to present an award.
Mahachi ventured into music in 2007 when he released his first album titled “Miyedzo”, which was followed by “Kure” of 2010 and “Agare”, which was released early this year.
He is currently riding high with his latest single “Endai Naizvozvo” .
He also has a popular single “Ndibvumbamirei” which features afro-jazz sensation Prudence Katomeni-Mbofana.
