The album consists of tracks such as Don’t Worry which is dedicated to everyone who needs hope and assurance. The open title track Rebuild the City is a plea for people to try and rebuild their communities.

“One of the most forgotten truths in the middle of troubles is that God still has a plan and a purpose for his children, whether you understand the situation or not you should not be anxious, but by prayer and supplication make your request known to God,” Dube said.

The group has own home-grown offerings such as Carry the Cross and Uzenza bani.

The group has launched a tour around Bulawayo dubbed Rebuild the City where they preach the gospel and minister at schools, homes and churches.
