Zanu-PF is a party that has the youth at heart and I told my brother Brema that Insimbi ZeZhwane will not be left out of the economic agenda that is being spearheaded by President Mnangagwa and today we officially welcome them to the ruling party.
"Our wish is to see Insimbi ZeZhwane with a fully equipped studio where they will work to produce more music and continue as the band that we all love," said Wusimbe.
