Despite spending most of their days seeking greener pastures in South Africa, the group is passionate about developing education back home.

The group recently donated school equipment to Lupaka Primary School. “We donated chairs, benches and stationery as a way of giving back to the community which nurtured us in music. People in that area always give us a warm welcome whenever we to there,” said Sibanda.

“We must not forget that children are the future of our country. We are nurturing future Presidents, Ministers, business people.” The group recently released his solo album entitled ‘Bakhuzeni’ (caution them).

“We sold more than 2,000 copies an hour after releasing the album. Through this initiative we are trying to encourage people not to support piracy as it is killing the music industry,” said Sibanda.

Defying the odds in the dog-eat-dog entertainment industry, the group has had hit after hit since their debut recording, Ndoyana. Their album ‘Hluphile’ got the most airplay but was banned in Zimbabwe after it was perceived to be ‘too political’.

A reproduction of their pivotal ‘Africa’ released in 1997 was used in South African Broadcasting Corporation programmes to unite the continent ahead of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, hosted by South Africa.
