By Showbiz Reporter| “Lovemore Majaivana; why is he an unsung Zim musical hero?,” asks columnist Ndaba Nhuku.

He continues saying, “ZBC seems to have shut him out yet he remains to most people, across all tribes, one of the nation’s favourite musicians.

Lovemore “Majaivana” Tshuma, is Zimbabwean singer and arguably the most popular singer, and by far the most prominent to have come out of Bulawayo. He earned the stage name ‘Majaivana’ for his exceptional dancing.

“Anyone knows why this golden voice of our era is ignored?,” concludes Nhuku as he repeats his question.

In 2015, the state media reported that Majaivana’s mother, MaNyathi has declared that her son is not going to make a comeback.

“He no longer wants to sing. He has told us that he is no longer interested in singing and quit singing by the time he left the country. People should not expect anything from him,” she said emphatically.

There you have it people. It is done. It is finished. All hopes dashed. Treasure the Majee albums you have. Reminisce about his electrifying stage performances you had the privilege of witnessing because you will never experience new ones.

But why would such a talented musician, who had the world at his feet, just throw away the mic and move on?

“Just like his song Wakewashayina (he once excelled) say. Amankazana eng’thanda, oBessie beng’thanda, lath’ es’thanda. He achieved a lot of things,” MaNyathi revealed.

Since his departure in 2000, Majaivana has never set foot in Zimbabwe. It is only his wife, Jane ‘‘Bessie’’ Dube, who “surprised” the family when she paid them a visit in February this year, the report said back then.
