    I hope South Africa knows one day the many legends you have in your hands … in other worlds and places Freddy Gwala would and should be gracing the corridors and hallways of revered musical spaces. He is the DNA of something truly special.
    Those of us who experienced his magic and electrifying influence growing up in Zimbabwe feel truly blessed. We embraced this massive talent and he embraced us right back and we will forever love him for it. This is a guy who cared about his Zimbabwean fan base waaay before this US dollar craze that is attracting other artists to Zim, long live to his music and every good thing he stands for !!🙏🏾❤️🇿🇼

He is an honorary Zimbabwean and still the man as far as we are concerned. Lathi siyakuthanda mfowethu. Wishing you nothing but long life and good health.
