The group has introduced a new hairstyle called "Gushungo" and the 88 stands for President Mugabe's age.

The haircut is found in 2 styles one that incorporates a mohawk and another which is simple short haircut but with the words "Gushungo" on the sides.

There are claims that a number of youngsters are already spotting the new hairstyle just like the Gushungo clothing line.

The musical trio, the Born Free Crew, released a four track audio CD whose tracks pay tribute to the liberation icons of the country for their sacrifices.

The trio's latest offering; "We Salute you" exalts the country's liberators, both fallen and living for their efforts which resulted in Zimbabwe attaining independence.

The title track comes in as the second track on the album, whilst Gushungo is also featured on the album. Another hit song on the album is "President Mugabe Ka 1."

The Minister of Media, Information and Publicity, Webster Shamu, who is also Patron of the Zimbabwe Union of Musicians, commended the musical trio for their efforts in enlightening the nation, saying even adults should take a leaf from the youthful group whose understanding of the country's history is sound and based on the realities of the nation's bitter struggle for independence.
