SOUTH Africa-based Zimbabwean gospel musician Sally Chamunorwa has revealed that she came to know that ministering the Word of God through song was her calling following a dream that she had in which she was singing with angels and that episode inspired her to embark on her music career at the age of six.
Following the success of her debut album Phakama Africa, Chamunorwa, an Apostolic Faith Mission (AFM) member, has released her second album titled Ndiitei Mudziyo Wenyu Mwari, which she said was receiving positive responses from fans, particularly two songs Unyamezela and Mambo Jesu Vakanamata.
“I am touched by the songs Imi Moga Mune Nyasha, Ndokunamatai Zvakadaro, Simudza Moyo Wako and Chandinoziva Muri Mwari,” Chamunorwa said.
She said the message in Unyamezela encourages Christians not to lose heart, but to persevere and show a spirit of excellence in all that they do and they shall be duly rewarded.
“Prayer answereth all things, so in that song I am encouraging people to pray about their situations,” she said.
“It does not matter whether you are a tomato or sweets vendor, even if you come across people who would look down upon you and even laugh at you, do not be disheartened, God will answer your prayers and reward you in due time.”
According to the AFM church songstress, her songs are so powerful that they touch and heal the hearts of those who listen to them including herself.
“I want to tell my fans to watch the space for a third album Mirirai Netariro coming out soon, they should keep on supporting me,” she said.

“Without their support I would not have gone this far and I promise them better things to come.”
Chamunorwa said she was inspired by various gospel singers, as they were all exceptional and endowed with skills and talents that were peculiar to them, in the process making their music productions unique.
“Blessing Shumba and Baba naMai Charamba are my favourite singers out of many,” she said.
Chamunorwa urged local gospel managers and promoters to take a cue from their colleagues in South Africa who support songs from their own musicians and also music that also puts the country in good light.
“God has blessed me with so many things, most of which would take a whole day to testify, sometimes when I think about it I feel like crying in awe,” she said.
