By Terence Miselo

Zambian youth activist, musician and entrepreneur Wesley Chibambo famously known as Dandy Krazy has embarked on a youth-motivation and self-assertive programme targeted at positive thinking among young people.

This programme dubbed, ‘I Switch’ launches next month and will go through to next year.

  ‘I Switch’ which is a theme and title for Dandy Krazy’s latest album that will also be launched at Woodlands Stadium on the 29th   of next month is specifically aimed at making young Zambians to change their mindset by becoming positive thinkers and creators of their own destiny.

This means making them believe in themselves and become less dependent on the government. It means encouraging them in their various aspects of life but most especially in taking up entrepreneurship.

 This ideally means it is a programme that will use music, poetry, dance and various popular acts to reach the target audience. Through this music and dance acts, the creator and founder of the project wishes to reach out to a number of young people across the nation and use the opportunity to educate, motivate and assist young people to build a positive attitude towards life.

Dandy wishes to partner and work with various stake holders and sponsors to see this programme to come to reality. He remains hopeful to receive corporate and individual support.

Shyman Shaizo seeks ‘Tandizo’

By Terence Miselo

Local musician Shyman Shaizo famously identified from his hit single ‘Fendela Fenduze’ has released a new song dubbed ‘Tandizo’ in which he is basically urging all Zambians to look within themselves and offer support to the underprivileged.

‘Tandizo’ is a song Shyman believes is a way of giving back to the community by advocating and lobbying for support for the vulnerable children. This is a song that he has featured five other artistes namely B-Flow, Kan2, Hamoba, Macky2 and Ozzy the General.

Speaking in an interview Shyman now based in Livingstone and doing most of his artistic works there says he is appalled by the fact that we Zambians always want to wait for other people from foreign countries to offer help and support[Tandizo] to our own people when we can actually do something about it.

“I did this song simply because I was touched to have visited an orphanage where I saw international donors are the ones sponsoring our own blood, our relatives. So I got to think to myself why we have to wait for donors to come in when these are our own people?” asked Shyman as he insists that it is us Zambians to offer help to our own people.

The socially conscious song is mainly an awareness idea to make people become responsible and helpful. It is laid out in modern Zed beat that is well-supplemented by the vocal and rap abilities of the artistes featured.
