“Shufflers” Ragimana, also known by some of his fans as “The Reggae Prophet”, will release his latest music offering this month.

Ragimana, who has been a science teacher at Selemale Secondary School for the past three decades, got the nickname “Prophet” after he had released an album with a very popular track, called Shango lo vhifha Muvhilini, literally translated as “The country is pregnant”, about 10 years ago. The song refers to the troubles in our country, asking God for divine intervention.

Today, a dark cloud hangs over his beloved village of Makonde, and since the problems have caused a division in the once peaceful village about three years ago, his fans started call- ing him “The Reggae Prophet”.

Ragimana cut his teeth in the reggae music industry with the release of his album Ndi nga na ndafa in 1998. The title track, Ndi nga na ndafa (I’d rather die than leave you my love), was like a national anthem to both young and old reggae fanatics and played on every one of the local radio stations and even at weddings around the country.

Chatting to Limpopo Mirror at Tshilamba on Saturday, 25 February, he said he was actually born into a family of prophets. “I don’t even write down those prophetic songs.

The moment I step into the recording studio, the words just come naturally and all I do is sing,” he said.

About his latest album, he said he had recorded the songs some time ago and was now just going over the final touches.

“I think this is going to be my best offering to date. I recorded it with Mulalo Mukwevho, one of the finest South African music producers at the moment,” he said.

His two backup singers, Ms Tendani Ragimana (his wife) and Ms Maavhelwana, have also released their own albums under his guidance.

“I used to sing a lot when I was young because that’s what I enjoy most. My life revolves around music. I am inspired by almost everything, and music is the way I get to express myself without having to hold back,” he said. His greatest inspiration came from the music of Rapson Rambuwani. “Seeing him sing every day was the turning point in my life. I told myself that I wanted to be like him one day.”

Mulea said that the reason he decided to sing gospel music was because he related well to the Word of God. “I grew up in church and everyone at home lives by the Word of God. The Bible teaches us to love one

The album contains 12 tracks, including Shango lotshinyala, Rembuluwani and Ntike. The album will give fans further insight into Mulea’s life, his struggles and all that he has been through. been in the entertainment industry long enough to know that it is important for young people to work hard and believe in themselves if they wish to pursue a career in music,” he said.
