Quotes

• “I think it was in April that I sat down with the music producer and I said ‘Look, I want us to change the name because prior to that I had been in an all-female band called Amakhosikazi and the name was a project name.”
• “So I sat down with him and I said you know, what I want us to think about is a name and record new music and in July of that year I was involved in a head-on collision and I was in hospital for a while and then…”
• “I think over a month. I was in a coma and the first thing that I saw when I woke up in that hospital bed at Parirenyatwa Hospital was the light coming through the window and that's how the name came about.”
• “I think the purpose shifts really because sometimes you are thinking, you know I have got all the time to do the things that I want to do and then realise like that it could be gone.”
• “I think it felt like I'm not that musician who is going to be favoured in certain spaces or that I shouldn't even look at people liking me.”
• “You know I remember a DJ saying to me this song won't play and I said why, because the song called Hutungamiri is questioning and then me saying it's moving forward with your people and making sure that you are moving with them because if you don't and you keep walking, one day you look back and find they are gone and the headline in the newspaper, I think it was the Daily News or NewsDay saying the country’s challenges are because of bad governance.”
