Well, it does not take a "rocket scientist" to tell you they are all the siblings of popular musicians Zexie Manatsa, Oliver Mtukudzi, Simon Chimbetu, and of course Lovemore Majaivana, now based in the US.
But it might indeed take a "rocket scientist" to know the latest addition to the music world – Derrek Majaivana – is the son of former Bulawayo-based, but now US-based music sensation Lovemore Majaivana or "MaGe".
Majaivana ruled Bulawayo when he went on stage.
His many fans, especially the very vocal ones who strongly support the boys in Black and White – Highlanders Football Club "Amahlolanyama" or "Iboso Ngenkani" – stood firmly behind him in all his music.
Most of his songs went gold not only in Zimbabwe but in South Africa where the star who sported an "Afro", popular during the 1980s after Independence, was also very dearly loved by fans especially the females.
They, black, coloured or white, regularly screamed whenever he went on stage to perform wearing his "belly bottomed trousers and platform shoes!
"I try to emulate my father in all my songs and in all that he did," the little dread-locked Majaivana Junior said in an exclusive interview at The Tube Night Club and Restaurant in Harare.
"Most of my songs are from my father. In fact I have an album or CD coming up in August which I have dedicated to my brother who plays for Highlanders Football Club and my father in the US," Majiavana, otherwise known as Sithole said.
"I desperately need instruments but I do have my own Band which I used to play the songs that I recorded for my new album. It has eight songs which are basically those that my father sang while he was in Zimbabwe before he left for the US."
He said he also sang one of the songs for Highlanders FC and his young brother both of whom "I dearly love".
"I strongly support Highlanders FC just like my father," Derrek said.
"In fact the guy who comes after me, my brother (Arnold), plays for Highlanders FC right now," he revealed.
The young musician was clad in a black three-quarter leather jacket on a cold Thursday night at the joint which was filled to capacity.
"I also play here and thanks to the Manager, Ms Paula (Valentine). She strongly supports struggling musicians whom she feels have a chance to make it not only in Zimbabwe but abroad.”
He was also quick to point out: "I am 32 years old. I am still very, very single and am still looking around."
