Everything in this album was made on the spot, I started singing and the words just came out and it worked beautifully in the end. I was amazed by my creative process this time around.

More quotes by Shumba Ratshega

It is God’s will that is keeping me on the stage.

I will always seek guidance from God and I am ready to serve his people all the time. God called me and told me ‘go back and talk to my people through your talent’, I am bringing hope through music once again.

While I am proud to have represented my country, I somehow feel as a nation we are not doing enough to promote our culture outside our borders through traditional music and dance.

We have a culture of always criticizing one another, always concerned with what the other is wearing, what they are doing, who they are dating but never really taking time to take charge of our own lives and look for opportunities of growth.

Initially, people were only interested in big stars like Yvonne Chaka Chaka and P-Square but once I went on stage many got excited. But once again it was disappointing that some would then start recognising me from SABC's Roots music programme. I believe we are not doing enough as a country.
