His music has, since the late 1980s, been advocating for the betterment of marginalised people’s livelihoods. His voice has a transformative logic, giving voice to the voiceless, hope to the hopeless and security to the vulnerable. In short, Zhakata sings for social justice, development and the amelioration of human suffering. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-margin-top-alt: auto; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; text-align: justify; line-height: normal; background: white;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; color: black; background: white;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMunyaradzi Nyakudya\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor of History at the University of Zimbabwe.
