You are correct. Mbo Mahocs (her name) is actually Zimbabwean. Yes she did act as ChiChi on Scandal

[@beeshayamano8085]

@@NAMATVzw thank you for clarifying I was confused

[@Joykatsvairo]

Ghetto youths can't even understand those harmonies wow wow

[@huberttm3291]

The song sounds great but I feel that it propagates a very false narrative that God is giving us a hard time etc. All God has ever tried to do is help us. But I sympathize with their not knowing.

[@sydneymukwacha6626]

If you were mature enough (not about age) you would have realised that Simon Chombetu was a poet and he wrote as he was inspired. Therefore whatever he wrote a nd sang was from his personal point of view and of course open to interpretation to third parties but you cant and wont invalidate his own personal experience when he penned this song.
