This song played the whole day on independence day of Zimbabwe in 1980. It played on radio Zimbabwe from Mozambique. I live in chipata, zambia and could listen to the liberation radio station on shortwave radio.
2021 this song does something to me deep down in my heart. Cry my beloved country. A great summary of what led to the chimurenga war. I'm not a Zanu but this is what the born free generation needs to know and appreciate....
Born free generation understand very well the struggle that took place for them to be born in freedom however the politicians who emerged as leaders from the liberation struggle are the ones who have lost sight of the very thing they supposedly fought for.
One thing I noticed, the born frees (Ama2000) born overseas (UK etc) are so keen to find their roots more than those in Zimbabwe. I believe these are the people who will transform and build Zimbabwe because they are not interested in partisan politics.
This song reminds me of Voice of Zimbabwe broadcasting from Lourenco Marquez (Mozambique). We used listened to it attentively on Short Wave 1 while in Louis Trichardt, SA.
this song must give the Zimbabweans the courage to build up their nation without ceasing .our ancestors struggled for the freedom we have today so let us also prepare something good for the coming generations..vavanenzwi kwaro vakuru avo.thumps up
This version is very educative of our liberation struggle and also how we were penetrated as a country by the British. An eye opener. This must be part of the schools curriculum.
I'm not a zanu pf supporter but this is a message for us as Zimbabweans. We need to wake up and not sell out what our ancestors fought for. Where is our pride as a nation if we don't honour our ancestors. All these western countries take pride in their own history and here we are thinking we have become more educated abandoning our ancestors. Where is our identity as nation?
The lead singer's voice demands attention to listen without enforcing it. Calm and laying down facts at the same sounding bitter, and hurt without shouting.
my tears just come out while i was till listening to this song... I love Zimbabwe and those who lost their life during liberation may God bless their families..
ZANU and ZAPU were not political parties. They were national projects. It was a mistake to make them political parties. At independence, we were supposed to transform them into national institutions of some sort, in same way we did ZANLA and ZIPRA. This would have allowed Zimbabwe to have real political parties. Today, our political landscape is messed up because of this mistake.
We salute the gallant sons and daughters of Zimbabwe who fought for independence. This part of history can not be traded or erased by mere stupidity. People fought for the land full stop. No matter what circumstances the people now own the means of production. Vanhu ngava humane nothing will change.
Although I'm very interested in the history of Zimbabwe, I only recently discovered the existence of songs of revolt and liberation. I have to admit that, so far, I'm not at all disappointed by what I've come across, especially after discovering this song.
This was back when the whole country was alive with hope for the future, when most thought it could never go wrong. Nehanda Nyakasikana tarira nyika yave dzoto
Now nyaya dzemachechi dziye is on another level, money spinning business vatema vachipambana upfumi using the bible. Vamwe ndiwo vanobva waramba tsika dzavo hanzi chitema. Maporofita aya unongonzwa nyaya dzekuti dzinga mweya yemadzinza, hameno kuti pane munhu asina dzinza here?? Kunge pange pasina wedzinza wakange wakabudirira? Vamwe ndiwo vanoti nyoka dzinorutsawo mari aha, vamwe ndevemaaointing oils, who manufactures those anointing oils?? Zimbabwe i mixed bag. This is a very nice song narrating dates and events.
2011 doing Grade 6 i had a teacher called Oppah Duma. She forced us to memorise this song to capture the dates very well of Moffat Treaty, Grobbelar Treaty and Rudd Concession.
The mellow voice of this leader singer brought and still brings emotions in the heart. Can feel some sense of courage and commitment to the war in this song!! Nyaya dzemachechi dzakatipinza busy, even up to now, ivo zvavo vagoni sipping tea murugare, isu busy shouting , "I receive" nhamo dzichiwanda. Vaporofiti chaiwo are people like Chaminuka
One munhu ataura chokwadi straight. Besides the rich History in this song, it's points out zvatiri kufanira kugadzirisa. The real prophets ana Chaminuka tinovatuka tichiti vakaipa. Vanhu vakafira Nyika zvatinoziva tinovatuka zvekare. Ikozvino tiri busy kuita " I receive" but the very initiators and the ones who came with maChurch varikushandisa maResources edu kupfuma, isu mu Africa tichisvuuka mabvi kunamata vanhu hedu😢 Wake Up Africa!
viva Zimbabwe. I genuinely feel like crying. can you imagin nehanda nakaguvi as Unexposed to world events as they were realised we were under attack and took up arms. hanzi vairwa nemaphumo nemuseve. They must have known they had no chance but decided to fight anyway
Hondo yeZanu Chiwororo. I enjoyed listening and dancing to Chimurenga type when i was only and up to now everytime i hear this music its like I'm hearing it for the first time.
Dedicated men and women came to develop Zimbabwe into a modern state we are proud of today. I salute these men of focus well dedicated to their new found land Rhodesia.
This is deep. Vakauya nema church vakatiudza kuti kune ma saints, vanhu vakafa vanotisvitsira minamato kuna Musikavanhu. Asi vanoti vadzimu vedu vakashata. Handiti vadzimu vedu vangoriwo vanhu vakafa vanotisvitsira minamato kuna Musikavanhu? They demonize our ancestors, yet what's the difference between them and saints?
Yah it's very hurting...though we got nothing to do....some people really died for Zimbabwe 🇿🇼....look where are we now may God bless Zimbabwe Amen. 2021🤝
The concept of independence is fake. The vampires needed blood. To think that our country would be back to were it was before colonialism is a phony idea. People in control of the world are vampires they need blood and they use African dictators to start senseless wars. War is a profitable business. Zanu Pf will rule until eternity because they owe a lot of money to people who gave them guns to fight that senseless war.
When you are approaching old age (40+ years), you can no longer run away from your roots anymore.Mbuya Nehanda is your founding mother. These are songs that will ring in your subconscious and deep sleep, not Amapiano, Hip Hop or Dancehall. Of course, there are Sungura songs which make you reminisce and nostalgic as well. Most of these artists are dead. Mugabe did what he had to do under pressure from the war veterans and land hungry populace. Whoever was going to be the leader of a new Zimbabwe in 1980 would eventually be pressured by the war veterans to grab land, otherwise they would be overthrown and called a coward or sellout like Muzorewa and Canaan Banana. Mugabe should have retired soon after grabbing land, but hey I am not God. Farms should have been shared 50/50 with black people like the South African BEE program to ensure continuity and production. But would the Rhodesians agree to this set up, considering they were very arrogant?
On the day we remember our heroes for their sacrifice, the second republic have tried to infuse our history into our consciousness. It is up to us all to appreciate their effort Zimbabwe is ours to destroy and build. The choice is for those who can protect one person vote . Unity is the winner
Zimbabwe @40 who is here hit, like guys for the love of our country.
Who is here in 2022? I am thousands of kms from Zimbabwe bt I love my country although it is now on its knees. One day I will come back
I am so sorry for your loss
This song played the whole day on independence day of Zimbabwe in 1980. It played on radio Zimbabwe from Mozambique. I live in chipata, zambia and could listen to the liberation radio station on shortwave radio.
zimbabwe @44 2024 hit the like guys
This should have been played at the beginning of every history lesson in Zimbabwe schools
very true
No please!!! No please!!!
@@andresngwenya1871 yes please!!!!!!!!yes please !!!!!!!!
@@andresngwenya1871 insecure about your past?
Who stil listening in2k19.....this will never get old to me......
Harris Ndlovu Me too. I shared this with my grandchildren, who have no clue how Zimbabwe came to be.
It took me staying in the diaspora to realize how much I love Dzimbahwe. Our rich and wealthy and mighty Zimba remabwe
And myself brother
Me too
This is the history that must be taught in schools with serious depth to rid our people of mental colonization.... cry my beloved country🇿🇼✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Of what benefit is it
I agree with you. A lot of the young are unaware of where we came from and the atrocities our parents & grandparents went through under colonial rule
We should sing these songs too. They instil a sense of pride in one's self too
@@brightmuza884 Ignorance and arrogance at its level best
Ideology of Zimbabwe should be taught to Zimbabweans
For the love of zimbabwe 🇿🇼. 2021 still on. Aluta continua
2020 im here , Zimbabwe at 40

Born free generation understand very well the struggle that took place for them to be born in freedom however the politicians who emerged as leaders from the liberation struggle are the ones who have lost sight of the very thing they supposedly fought for.
My sentiments exactly
to bad your country is now colonized by american culture
One thing I noticed, the born frees (Ama2000) born overseas (UK etc) are so keen to find their roots more than those in Zimbabwe. I believe these are the people who will transform and build Zimbabwe because they are not interested in partisan politics.
What also amazes me is that randomly the picture they used for this song is of my father
This song reminds me of Voice of Zimbabwe broadcasting from Lourenco Marquez (Mozambique). We used listened to it attentively on Short Wave 1 while in Louis Trichardt, SA.
The blood that was shed cannot go in vain.This touches my soul.Cry my beloved country.
He’s almost on top now thanks to the producers and everyone who noticed his talent and helped and also God the almighty
this song must give the Zimbabweans the courage to build up their nation without ceasing .our ancestors struggled for the freedom we have today so let us also prepare something good for the coming generations..vavanenzwi kwaro vakuru avo.thumps up
This version is very educative of our liberation struggle and also how we were penetrated as a country by the British. An eye opener. This must be part of the schools curriculum.
I remember this song in 1981 when I was writing my 'O' Level, the dates came in handy in the History paper.
2021 listening to this song,my heart bleeds just thinking about our beloved country
RIP Marko, Stanley, Kenny, Dorothy Veremu and all those brave men and women who fought for freedom.
long live the spirit of the zimbabwean revolutionaries who fought for a future determined by their people and not imperialists, love from america.
I'm not a zanu pf supporter but this is a message for us as Zimbabweans. We need to wake up and not sell out what our ancestors fought for. Where is our pride as a nation if we don't honour our ancestors. All these western countries take pride in their own history and here we are thinking we have become more educated abandoning our ancestors. Where is our identity as nation?
Hear! hear!
I applaud for each and everyone who fought for Zimbabwean freedom but our freedom has been short lived and it's very sad 🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
The lead singer's voice demands attention to listen without enforcing it. Calm and laying down facts at the same sounding bitter, and hurt without shouting.
Wow, just hear how the guy is mentioning all those treaties, and the final nail "Royal Charter", i love the song
How a country is stolen!
Am inBots🇧🇼but each time i listen to this song and nzira dze masoja i feel like i was there but am not even from there
Matare evakweguru addressing Mhondoro yeZimbabwe Chaminuka. Zvinotendwa. Ndiro

A great sacrifice!
Insightful song, great singer, sweet melody and great meaning. Thank you. Shalom
i love Zimbabwe.... Cry my beautifull country cry to God .
This song makes me cry. Even my mom almost cried when I played. Tears for our Zimbabwe 😭
I feel your pain but life must go on. I can only say I am sorry for the loss of your country

Brought tears to my eyes. Almost 150 years on and Zimbabwe is still broken
Long live Zimbabwe 🇿🇼 Viva Cde Mhere what a honey voice.
This is a masterpiece 👏..may all the souls of all the comrades who lost their lives continue to rest in power
Amen
I will change my beloved Zimbabwe. Viva Zimbabwe. Zimbabwe will be back

2022… the British lost Zimbabwe but we as Zimbabweans are yet to gain Our country as truly ours . It belongs to a few men full of greed

This is a very nice song narrating dates and events.
History told as it is. Great talent, great music
It's called nostalgia. Remembering Voice of Zimbabwe broadcast every night from Maputo. When that meant something. Everything
Remember ngama 80s lengoma ku radio 2 noma ngingezwa ukuthi bathini ngisayithanda,thina ama early 70s babies
Im not a zanu pf follower,but this song has got a strong en touching mssge
lol u had to justify yourself
It’s not a Zanu Pf song but a Zimbabwean liberation song.
It's not a Zanu pf song ,
This is just being patriotic, nothing wrong, homie. Its also history narrating song
The beauty of the song is that it was sang before zanu pf..
Im Zimbabwean glad to see this video
2011 doing Grade 6 i had a teacher called Oppah Duma. She forced us to memorise this song to capture the dates very well of Moffat Treaty, Grobbelar Treaty and Rudd Concession.
ZANU really did a number on us. There was so much hope and aspiration in the air at independence!
and now youre colonized by america

Very perfect questions raised by the composer.
Well done

GrumpyTinashe You are spot on 🤙🏿
Ufunge zvako homie. Kufa kwemurume kubuda hura
Hondo yeZanu Chiwororo. I enjoyed listening and dancing to Chimurenga type when i was only and up to now everytime i hear this music its like I'm hearing it for the first time.
Historical and moving song even after so many years
2023 a few minutes before the new president of Zimbabwe is announced and I'm here being strengthened by this song
Great song indeed Viva Zimbabwe.

Dedicated men and women came to develop Zimbabwe into a modern state we are proud of today. I salute these men of focus well dedicated to their new found land Rhodesia.
This song makes me wish i was there in the war fighting for my country
This is deep. Vakauya nema church vakatiudza kuti kune ma saints, vanhu vakafa vanotisvitsira minamato kuna Musikavanhu. Asi vanoti vadzimu vedu vakashata.

Even I can't heir the words but straggle was hurt and pain full and I know one day Zimbabweans will be free again South Africa
God blesse Zimbabwe
