WATCH: Jonathan Moyo releases tribute song for late daughter Zanele

HIGHER and Tertiary Education minister Jonathan Moyo has paid tribute to his late daughter, Zanele Naledi, in a touching song released on Sunday through the politician's Twitter account.

He recorded the song as a first anniversary tribute to his daughter Zanele Naledi Moyo, the Angel of the Moyo family who departed on 14 October 2015 in Cape Town South Africa.

In the song titled Tribute to Zanele Naledi Moyo, the minister rearranged the track from the old gospel classic, Goodness and Mercy Shall Follow You.

"Zane used to keep me abreast with hip-hop lingo. This dope rap is for her! Tribute to Zanele Naledi Moyo by Prof Moyo," he tweeted.

Moyo said, whenever he sang the lyrics he saw his daughter's "infectious smile" and reflected on her life.

Moyo said Zanele used to keep him abreast with hip-hop lingo and the rap line on the last part of the song reflected the young woman's love of the genre.
