Sungura music singer Alick Macheso has implored parents not to discourage their children when they show an interest in music but to rather, encourage them.
Macheso was speaking on the sidelines of his show at Jongwe Corner in Harare on New Year’s day. Said Macheso:
In the old days, I remember when my own parents were beating me saying haa zvemagitare ndezvehurombe. Hapana aiziva kuti remangwana richange rakamira sei?
Semubereki unenge uine tarisiro yekuti dai mwana wangu aita izvi kana izvi but in the end the child’s desire is the most important. If you see your child knitting, support her.
Ukawona mwana achitamba newaya mubatsire semubereki. Ukawonawo anoda zvechikoro mubatsire nekuti zvirimubhonzo zvemwana unozviona achiri kukura.(Parents have expectations from their children but they should let them be).
