Sabastian Magacha

Good day Sebastian, so it’s part of our culture as Zim Influencers Magazine to start with this popular request, can you please tell us a little bit about yourself and what exactly makes Saba this unique amazing figure? Sebastian was born on the 10th of May 1994 in the city of Kings and Queens Bulawayo and l am a father of one as well a devoted Christian. What makes me unique is that l have managed to create a sound called Saba music and my fans quite relate to the sound very well. The origins of the Saba music comes from the inspiration l get as a Christian, l have as well a ten member band that is devoted to our work the way l sing as well is a signature to my music.

# Sebastian, what really inspires you to keep singing? What’s the motive behind your melodies? What keeps me going is that l am God inspired, when l write my music, the experiences that l have gone through and that others have gone through inspires me a lot to write music and record more as well. All the things that affect our day to day living, the good and bad makes me want to appreciate God more through music. When l write my music my main goal is to give hope to those who are already at the verge of giving up. I try all the time to produce music that is spiritual and that goes to the heart and soul of the listener. My most inspiration when writing music comes from all the things surrounding us that God created.

A Talk With Sebastian Magacha

# Sebastian, you’re an inspiration to many. What’s your advice to many young people who look up to you? My advice to young people who looks up to me is that always live your life not to please people but to always make sure God is happy with you .One thing about life is that you will never be loved by everyone but by only God who is your savior and creator. Don’t worry much about what people say about your ambitions and don’t listen to many voices that comes with peer pressure. Strive to have an identity of who you are and it’s not easy to come up with an idea but once that idea becomes a reality, people would begin to appreciate your work more. Always dedicate yourself to principles and what you believe in.

# Oh yeah, you are also into philanthropy. Sebastian, what’s your philosophy behind this initiative? One of the biggest things l have always wanted to do is to be able to give back and make a huge impact in people’s lives. I am a brand ambassador of an organization called Adam Moley and what we do is feed communities around us that cannot afford to eat. In areas such as Marondera we have managed to feed families who struggle to afford food and in schools as well. The whole idea is not giving them fish just like the saying goes, but to give them the means of fishing. We also develop projects for them and sponsor those projects so that those people are able to sustain themselves. I am opening a Sebastian Magacha foundation that is going to look at the abused children, street kids and orphans in the country.

# Well, your song Abraham is on everybody’s lips. Making it with kids seem to have a deeper meaning, why did you choose kids as the performers? The song l did with Avondale primary school has been well received by all music fans and l would like to thank God for that and all those who have been with us. The thing that motivated me to do a song with the Kids is that, l always want to motivate and inspire them. If you look back l once did a song with Sandringham High School. Our idea is to groom children at a tender age so that they become focused on what they desire in life and appreciate music more. I myself l was empowered by people who saw a potential in me and helped groom me, so l always want to give back in that regards as well.

# Saba, are you available for bookings and which contact can one use to have you blessing an event? As a result of Corona Virus it has been a little difficult to gather people for live concerts.

Things Real Gentlemen Do

When it comes to filtering out the frauds from the real gentlemen, there are some simple ways to find out who is genuine, here is our list of 10 things that only real gentlemen do…

1. PROVE THAT MANNERS MAKETH MAN Never was there a finer reflection of a true gentleman than this. He writes thank you letters not emails, he sends gifts not texts, he holds the door, he minds his Ps & Qs, he offers his coat and his seat and above all he knows that all who he comes into contact with deserve the same such level of manners.

2. DRESS WELL Like the well heeled gents of the past, a real gentleman is respectably and appropriately dressed at all times. He understands the value of style over fashion and knows where to go to get it.

3. MAINTAIN GROOMING STANDARDS He need not preen to perfection, but a real gentleman will maintain appropriate levels of personal grooming on a daily basis.

4. HAVE REAL EMPATHY It is no good being charming and well presented if you lack the fundamental ability to empathise with all those who you come into contact with. Empathy can not be faked or learnt, it is something inherent in all real gentlemen.

5. RESPECT EVERYONE From the man who cleans his shoes to the chairman of his company, a true gentleman treats everyone with the same level of respect.

6. DISPLAY CHIVALRY This is not limited to simply showing chivalry to women, but a gentleman will do all in his power to help everyone around him, from walking curb-side with a woman to helping an elderly man across the road.

7. KEEP THEIR WORD Whether it be in business or romance, a real gentleman will always keep his word.

8. SHOW RESTRAINT A real gentleman does not raise his voice or loose his temper, even in the most difficult of situations.

9. DO EVERYTHING IN MODERATION A true gentleman knows how to enjoy himself, but he knows when to indulge and when to say no.
