Charity and determination will take me to the international gospel arena, says Gweru gospel sensation Wadzanai Mukanga-Mutami, popularly known as Mai Mutami.
The 28-year-old gospel minister and devoted member of AFM in Zimbabwe — Mtapa Assembly, said in an interview that she is determined to use her music as a tool for social change and a platform to challenge inequalities within society.
“I am highly inspired to grow in the music industry. If I can perform on a global stage, I will be able to speak, heal and encourage people all over the world in the interest of God’s kingdom,” said Mai Mutami.
“Music is not only an entertainment tool; I am an agent for social change, spiritual growth and spreading the good news about Christ.”
With her growing popularity, Mai Mutami has become a regular performer at local churches and conferences across Zimbabwe, receiving a steady flow of invitations that continue to build her confidence.
“I am grateful that people appreciate the gift within me. Above all, I have gained self-confidence,” she said.
She has shared the stage with renowned gospel artists such as Ivy Charamba, Shyleen Maningi, Adamson Jeketere, and Prince Tinashe, which she describes as a humbling and motivating experience.
Mai Mutami credits her success to the unwavering support she receives from her family and community.
