Fungisai, who is a holder of BSc Sociology from the Women’s University in Africa is one of the revered gospel singers in Zimbabwe.
Known for her touching lyrics and danceable music, Fungisai long endeared herself with fans when she used to sing Chikende during her formative years.
Then, signed to one of the biggest record labels called Ngaavongwe Records, Fungisai was not afraid to cross boundaries with her gospel music.
She also branched out to Zim dancehall, a genre which has its roots from the Jamaican dancehall music.
She dropped her first collaboration with one of the pioneers of Zim dancehall Killer T on Vanondibatirana and the two worked magic. She then earned herself the title “Church Person” after an uproar from her fans.
This was because at the time it was unthinkable for a gospel singer to try out secular music.
In her defense, Fungisai said she wasn’t a “Church Person” as people thought.
Since that time she has been using the phrase Church Person describing herself. Much more than that, Fungisai is one of the smartest musicians to emerge in the country.
On the other hand Dr Tumi is not only a crowd puller but a singer whose command of gospel simply stands out.
