“I join you my fellow Zimbabweans in celebrating the life of a young man whose lyrical prowess was legendary, entertaining and spoke to the real life situations as it touched on our social culture. All the people who knew him greatly loved and will always keep the memory of a great musician. When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes the treasure.”
“On behalf of Government, I send our deepest condolences to the Musaka family, friends, music fraternity and his fans during this time of bereavement and may God bring you the much needed peace and comfort till we meet again.”
