Zimbabwe: President Hails Seventh-Day Adventist Church Choral Music

PRESIDENT Mugabe has hailed the Seventh-Day Adventist Church choral music describing it as the best and well-organised type of music.

He made the remarks after listening to the melodious voices of the Advent Ambassadors at a wedding ceremony held at FBC Sports Club in Harare on Sunday.

Cynthia Nhari - daughter to Gushungo Dairy Farm manager Mr Stanley Nhari - tied the knot with Charles Kupakuwana at a colourful event at FBC Sports Club on Sunday.

The President urged other churches to take a cue from the SDA church and come up with good music.

"Of all the churches, SDA has the best music. Kwamunoita kuno ndiko kunonzi kuimba. Unonzwa maparts ose kuti soprano, tenor, bass zvichipindirana.

"Vamwe vanoimbawo zvavo asi yenyu iri pamberi. I listen to other types of music, but this one is my favourite," he said.

The President posed for a photograph with the 19-member Advent Ambassadors choral group and they sang two songs while he was among them.

Police Band took over from the group later in the day.

Advent Ambassadors was formed 36 years ago by four SDA men. One of the four founders, Mr Jonathan Tawengwa, is still with the group.

Four of the group members - Mr Morris Tsoka, Mr Norman Dzvene, Mr Arnold Tanda and Mr Archford Matsika - joined the choir in the 1970s.

In the 1980s, the group sang for the First Family after being invited by the late Amai Sally Mugabe during a leprosy programme.

They also sang at the funeral of the late Amai Mugabe.

The group, that spent most of its time singing at weddings, church gatherings and other functions for years, has recorded five albums that include Tarisa Upone, Ready To Leave, The World and Ndicherechedzei Baba.

Group spokesperson Mr Ridgeway Dube said their mission was to spread the word of God through music.

"Our main aim is to preach the Three Angels' Message to the world through singing. We are invited all over the country and outside Zimbabwe for weddings and different other occasions," said Mr Dube.

Mr Dube said spirit of God kept the group members together for decades.

"We have managed to keep the group united because we do not sing for money. The spirit of God is always with us and at times we use our own money to travel for functions. The spirit helps us to co-ordinate well and to work as a family in love," he said.

However, Mr Dube appealed to well-wishers to assist them with a bus to enable them to travel around in accomplishing God's work.

Hi Lana, yes, there are. However, as for myself we know of usually dual such examples. Far up in Alaska, about 100 years ago, an Eskimo a single day listened a pleasing voice articulate to him from somewhere above. The voice was listened saying, "Father as good as son, father as good as son." For multiform years this voice a single after an additional to surprise as good as indoctrinate Maniilaq, as his name was. He was sensitive of a lot of things that seemed unfit to people in his own days. For e.g. he was told that a single day people would be equates to to transport in boats upon a stream though regulating any paddles. He was told about people drifting in "boats" up in a air. He was told that in a destiny it would be probable to keep their homes comfortable though regulating wood, as good as a lot of alternative bizarre things many of that have been fulfilled. This voice from sky additionally told him that he should rest upon a seventh day as good as do no work upon that day. So he did for a rest of his life. To be certain to recollect a right day upon that to rest he done a hang where he cut a symbol for any day. Over a years he got multiform followers. And a single day, when Christian missionaries arrived, these missionaries were astounded to find many Eskimos in that area that complacent upon Saturdays as good as believed in a good father suggestion that had a son. The Christian missionaries told a people that a day of rest essentially was Sunday. So after a little time a latest Christian Eskimos supposed that as good as altered their day of rest. But after Seventh-day Adventist missionaries additionally arrived, as good as many of a Eskimos remembered Maniilaq’s strange day as good as became Seventh-day Adventists. There is a lot of element upon this upon a Internet. It is Written had a module about this a little years ago. In further multiform books have been written. we review this a single myself: The alternative e.g. we know about of inland people that kept a seventh-day sabbath, is a people in Ghana, Africa. Unfortunately we do not recollect a name of this people. They have a really aged convention of lazy upon each seventh day, that equates to Saturday. The Seventh-day Adventist Church has many members in this area today, as these people have no complaint with a Biblical seventh day sabbath. (Lana, unfortunately we live in a single of a Scandinavian countries as good as do not know English really well. But as we pronounced we will try to find a little some-more report as good as supplement here. If we occur to know my e-mail address, we can write me, though we many expected have been not a same Lana we schooled to know a little years ago.) Keep in mind, though, which "civilization" wasn’t wholly in a hands of a "christian missionaries" who visited places latest to them. Many supposed "indigenous tribes" had abounding civilizations, formidable laws as well as rules, as well as rarely grown amicable structures prior to any follower of Jesus missionaries arrived. The attainment of follower of Jesus missionaries many mostly coincided with a attainment of follower of Jesus soldiers, as well as a heartless hardship as well as drop of a existent amicable structures as well as civilizations. Christian missionaries via story have been decidedly a destructive, rough force which wiped out any snippet of a existent civilizations as well as left in their place heartless theocratic rule.
