“I have been in the music industry for more than five years now, so this time I have decided to record my forthcoming album in Tonga,” she said.

The musician said she wanted to raise the Tonga flag high like what other musicians had done to their mother languages.

“A lot of musicians out there are recording their music in their mother language and this has got a positive impact to their society.

“So I have decided to adopt that culture and I hope it is going to raise my Tonga language high as it is not that popular in the music industry,” she said.

The musician said some of the songs to feature on the album are Tatalezela, Amuzekulileza and Tatamulenguzu.

“We have just finished working on the vocals for these songs and now we are focusing on editing and arranging the songs.

“We are taking our time on this album as we want to produce quality music,” she said.

Mwembe said gospel fans should expect nothing but the best from her album.

“We want to give our fans value for their money that is the reason we are taking our time in recording this album.

“We hope that this album will be on the market before the end of the first half of the year.”

Mwembe said the album was also going to be used as a vehicle for spreading the word of the lord.

“I have tried to use this album as a vehicle of ministering the word of the Lord,” she said.

The musician said the major challenge she was experiencing like any other musician was lack of exposure.

“I have been struggling to get enough exposure like any other musician but I hope this is going to change with time.

“Since 2005 I have been performing at different functions and this album is going to be my breakthrough into the Zimbabwean music industry,” she said.

The Government has since independence been fighting to promote the minority languages that include Tonga, Venda and Nambia through its policies.
