Heroism has been limited in recent times by national structures,political orientation,regionalism and narrowmindedness by social adjudicators....this has not stopped the nation attributing genuine hero status to sungura star Tongai Moyo! With millions of Zimbabweans having danced , swayed or girrated to his tunes at one time or another, the star has left an indelible mark on the Zimbabwean musical scene. The Muchina Muhombe star lived a philosophy of 'smartness'in both music and clobber and this shall be missed, his involvement in cancer centre projects in Southern Africa is a living footprint of his desire and willingness to safeguard life. Tongai Moyo shall be missed and may his soul rest in peace!!

- Michael Chipato
- Birmingham, West Midlands, United Kingdom
- Michael Chipato is a social and development scientist currently living in Birmingham.Over the years issues pertaining social inequalities, dictatorship, political oppression and gender disparities have been his research focus.As an artist, journalist and academic Michael's philosophy of life is greatly influenced by Léopold Sédar Senghor (9 October 1906 – 20 December 2001) ... a Senegalese poet, politician, and cultural theorist who served as the first president of Senegal (1960–1980). Senghor was the first African to sit as a member of the Académie française. He was also the founder of the political party called the Senegalese Democratic Bloc. He is regarded by many as one of the most important African intellectuals of the 20th century. Senghor created the concept of Négritude, an important intellectual movement that sought to assert and to valorize what they believed to be distinctive African characteristics, values, and aesthetics..He does not condone oppression and violence in any shape or form.
