The award-winning gospel singer Rhuu Tshikovha has just released a sterling single, which has already been receiving massive airplay on national and community radio stations.
In the towns, villages and tertiary institutions everyone is also talking about the single, Hallelujah.
Hallelujah was produced at Les Royals, who has an amazing track record in producing excellent music in the country. The song was written by King Edward Maposa and composed by Rhuu Tshikovha and Edward Maposa.
Rhuu Tshikovha, who once stated that talent was not enough in any artistic field as one needed to work hard, so that the product could leave a lasting mark, has just lived up to her words yet again.
“Hallelujah is a song that is well received out there because people can feel it as it touches their souls,” she said. “This song is a kind of a prayer to the Highest God, it's an invitation to Him to come to our rescue in times of hardship and storms. It says that I won't stop singing and praising God, no matter what.”
Rhuu Tshikovha's full name is Rudzani Cheron Mudzielwana from the rural village of Tshixwadza in the Thulamela area. She has had a colourful music career, and she was a lead vocalist in the live DVD and CD recording for the musical group called Extreme Worship in 2016. She was also featured on the song Deeper by The Xplicits Crew from Abuja in Nigeria in 2018.
She released her first album called Madzanga in 2016. In July last year, she released a deep-worship single, entitled Your Throne. The song is available on all digital online music stores such as iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, and Deezer.

The revival of Tshivenda traditional music is not just the pipe dream of some idealists. Judging by the turnout during a meeting held in Thohoyandou this past weekend, this form of music is about to undergo a major revival.
Tshivenda traditional-music lovers are in for a treat with a collaboration between Tshivenda traditional music legend and veteran Solomon Mathase and popular poet and guitarist Dzomo la Venda. The two were spotted on Saturday, 20 April, at a function in Thohoyandou where they showcased their talents during a live performance.
During a Sunday sermon, Bishop Johannes Muofhe of the World Mission Church’s Fondwe branch prophesied that a musician, someone other than a member of the worship team, would emerge from the church.
With a successful roots-reggae album titled “Shandukani” to his name, Fhatuwani Richard Mashele is quickly becoming a household name in South African music. Better known as Jah Saint in music circles, Mashele believes that success does not come overnight and that one must work hard to earn it.
