Botswana-based Zimbabwean entrepreneur Farayi Zinyimo, who escaped death by a whisker when a 2.5-tonne milling machine fell from a forklift at his workplace last year, says he turned into a gospel musician soon after recovering and released two singles last month.
Zinyimo, who owns an engineering company, Dectech Engineers, in Gaborone, told Standard Style that the accident in October last year prompted him to go into the studio to testify God’s greatness and praise Him through music.
“There is God in heaven. My right knee dislocated, tendons and muscles were torn. I walked with crutches till January. That moved me to go to the studio to do tracks Hamudi Neni and Denga Renyu,” Zinyimo said.
“I wasn’t looking for competition, but I said to myself that if I had died, the grave would not have applauded God, so let me sing for Him for He saved my life.”
Zinyimo said his music was already making waves on Radio Zimbabwe, Hevoi FM and YA FM.
He joined his wife Mary “Mai Zee” Zinyimo, who has been in the music industry since 2017.
“The tracks are doing very well on local stations. Listeners are falling in love with them especially because of the sungura rhythm that is capable of taking many to the dance floor praising God,” he said.

Mai Zee was very excited by the decision made by her husband.
“Though it came as a surprise, I actually welcomed his decision because winning souls to Christ needs a collective effort. I am proud that we will both be ministering to God through music to transform many lives,” she said.
