“Our role as Christians is to see that tranquility is maintained in the world. We always pioneer progressive societies through gospel music. Zimbabwe needs peace at this moment and we are praying and preaching that through our music,” said Sibanda.

“Most of our songs focus on social issues. Citizens must be aware that unity is the most important key for a country to prosper in its endeavours. We aim to achieve that goal through our music. We appreciate the support we are receiving South African and Zimbabwean citizens who are welcoming to our projects. We are still growing big just because of their dedication in supporting our cause,” added Sibanda.

Sibanda and his group rose to fame with albums Sihamba noJesu, uJesu uyeza, Abangcwele and Ziyez’Insuku, which sold Platinum in South Africa.
