KING’S SOUND ADVICE. #SoulShackRadio

😂😂😂 Here’s the thing ZRP @PoliceZimbabwe is missing completely… music is one of the few professions where your certificate means absolutely nothing if you cannot perform.

A guitarist can have 10 O Levels and still not hold rhythm.
A saxophonist can have a diploma and still fail an audition.

Meanwhile some of Zimbabwe’s greatest musicians probably never passed Mathematics with flying colours, but the second they touched an instrument, magic happened.

That’s how bands are built. Through LIVE AUDITIONS. Through ear, timing, creativity, stage presence and raw talent. Not by checking whether somebody passed Science. Hahahahahahaha!

Imagine if Dynamos or Highlanders announced,
“Applicants must have A Level Mathematics before trials.” 😂😂😂 Tsitsitsitsitsi 🤦🏽‍♂️
Football scouts watch you play.

Music directors should watch you perform.
Yes, discipline and basic education matter in a structured institution like the police, nobody disputes that. But when recruiting specifically for a BAND, the main requirement should be MUSICAL ABILITY.

Bring in respected music directors, producers and seasoned musicians to assess talent properly. People like Bothwell Nyamhondera, Leonard Zhakata, @MONOMUKUNDU Clive Mono Mukundu or even veteran live performers like The Rusike Brothers with decades of band experience who understand instrumentation, harmony, live performance and musical discipline.

Music is spiritual.
Talent is God-given.
Training can sharpen it, yes.


But you cannot examine soul with an O Level certificate.
Some of the greatest legends across Africa learned on stages, in townships, at beer halls, churches and family gatherings, not in classrooms.

ZRP needs to rethink this approach because a police band ,any band is supposed to SOUND good first.

Nobody listening at Independence celebrations asks, 
“Did the trumpet player pass Integrated Science?” 😂😂😂

This one deserves debate.

[Big Youth @DiverseViews]

@KingJayZim @PoliceZimbabwe I wonder why "A qualification in music or any related field will be an added advantage" should not be the major requirement for band member applicants. 'O' Level subjects should instead! Anyway, I'm looking for someone with five subject passes to roast maize in First Street.

@MurenahTorto @daddyhope @xAviation There are still people not using AI assistance to write articles, thereby making their lives, tasks & responsibilities easier, with much more effect and a sense of purpose? By the way, try using the microphone on Chatgpt. It will simply correct a few errors if you are good. Done!

@dmotloung @NxeleN @daddyhope You are not yet tired. You shall get tired until you kick the bucket. Until you rest in peace.

[Big Youth @DiverseViews]

@NxeleN @daddyhope Who are you to tell people where to stay? Who asked you to be foolish? No one did, obviously. It's your choice and democratic right. Fortunately for you, there's comfort in numbers.

@Hwirishaboy @HotelSolomon @KingJayZim @TeamFuloZim @lawnyika It does deserve not just a follow but some visits to promote the joint.

[Big Youth @DiverseViews]

@HotelSolomon @KingJayZim @TeamFuloZim @lawnyika Awesome response 👏 👌

[King Solomon Hotel @HotelSolomon]

The Supreme Court of Graze has spoken. 🧑‍⚖️🇿🇼We have reviewed the evidence presented by @TeamFuloZim and @lawnyika. After a internal tribunal, our kitchen has officially pled guilty to "Treasonous Culinary Offences" regarding yesterday's plate.The gravy has been thoroughly reprimanded for looking like an apology. The roadrunner chicken has been given strict instructions to start "giving that ka that." As for the zviyo? Our ancestors have been appeased with a brand-new presentation standard.Because King Solomon’s is a proper landmark and not a roadside dive, we take our constitutional duty to comfort your soul very seriously. To the Reviewers: Come back for a retrial. Next plate is on the house, and we promise it will be a historic victory. To Kwekwe Travelers: Swing by this weekend and judge the new evidence for yourself. #TheRetrial #KingSolomonsHotel #KwekweIcon

[Hopewell Chin’ono @daddyhope]

I will never boycott anything South African because of a minority group of people. There is a huge silent majority in South Africa with logical minds and beautiful hearts.

I always tell the story of my followers. I have over 1.7 million followers on social media, yet out of all those people, I only receive abuse from a few hundred. I therefore cannot run away from social media because of a few clowns.

Similarly, I cannot boycott South Africa because of a loud and rowdy minority.
