Musician Chief Hwenje, known for his songs glorifying President Emmerson Mnangagwa, has expressed his gratitude to the First Family for their generous support that enabled him to travel to India for medical treatment after being diagnosed with blood cancer. The musician, born Admire Sanyange Sibanda, made the heartfelt tribute while performing at Mkandapi Business Centre in Shurugwi last Thursday, during an event where President Mnangagwa officially commissioned the resurfaced 43-kilometre Shurugwi-Mhandamabwe Road.
Chief Hwenje, who delivered an energetic performance that belied his recent medical procedure, shared with the crowd that he had been diagnosed with lymphoma, a type of blood cancer that affects the lymphatic and immune systems. Despite this, he entertained the crowd with his signature dance moves and vibrant presence.
In an interview at the event, Chief Hwenje thanked President Mnangagwa and the First Family for facilitating his medical trip to India, where he received the treatment he needed. He spoke of how the President and his family continuously checked on his progress during his recovery.
"I want to thank the First Family for ensuring that I went to India. The President ensured that I got all the treatment and attention that I needed, including the medical procedure that I went through. They would constantly check on me to hear about my progress. I also thank Zanu PF and its leadership in the Midlands Province, Gutu West legislator John Paradza, among others, who assisted a lot, particularly in taking care of my family while I was away," Chief Hwenje said.
Although his health is improving, Chief Hwenje shared that his doctors have advised him to rest and refrain from pursuing his new album for the time being. "For now, I will not be pursuing the new album. My medical team strongly advised me to rest, and I am duty bound to do as they have directed. Until they say I can resume my work, I will be resting at my rural home," he explained.
Chief Hwenje, known for hi's songs like Mai Welly', became a household name in Zimbabwe's music scene. His rise to fame made him a prominent figure in the entertainment industry, and his fans have expressed relief and joy at his recovery. His gratitude towards the First Family underscores the significant role of community and government support in times of personal hardship.
