Career

While in Grade Three at Nyamakosi Primary School, he had already mastered the art of playing hosho. During his final year at Nyamakosi, the founder of Zvishamiso Zvevapostori Bishop Mufuka had already seen that he exhibited special hosho-playing skills and travelled with him during his crusades.
