One of Zimbabwe’s successful young and upcoming musician Vengai Kanhema popularly known as Vekann, has set aside cash and clothing, for the Bulawayo’s dumpsite orphans.
The Harare based singer, Vekann, who has become an answer to the orphans’ prayers, contacted ZimEye.com, after reading what he described as an emotive story of the plight of the impoverished orphans, who are residing at the dumpsite, following deaths of parents and guardians.
“I was touched by the story, that’s why I have set aside a few goodies that I am taking to Bulawayo for these orphans. I am also going to stage shows in Bulawayo and surroundings, with 60% of the proceeds going towards the upkeep of these special people,” said Vengai.
The musician’s latest video ‘Usakanganwe’, was voted March 2015 video of the month on local Zimbabwean television.
Vengai has songs such as Rwendo, Dzikama, Tichafara, Rega ndiende, kabhachura, to mention but a few that have made it to the top chats.
He also applauded ZimEye.com for publishing human interest articles that also encouraged him to look for these orphans.
“You are doing a wonderful job ZimEye, had it not been for your stories concerning these innocent souls, the nation would not be in a position to guess,” he said.
