Machanic Manyeruke and his Role in the Inculturation of Christian Faith in Zimbabwe through Shona Songs
Introduction After watching the Film'MACHANIC MANYERUKE: The Life of Zimbabwe’s Gospel Music Legend’, by James Ault, I just noticed the role that Manyeruke played and still plays in the Christian faith inculturation in Zimbabwe through his Shona songs. The documentary starts by introducing who Machanic Manyeruke is, his painful early life, how he was not able to continue his education, how he runway from home to Harare, and his conversion. From a gardener, and waiter to a celebrity, Manyeruke’s life is a testimony that ‘there is no faraway that God cannot take from and there is no far that God cannot take you to.’ Whether you think you are far doing well or bad, if you watch the film you will see God at work, as throughout Manyeruke's life, you will notice a humble and loving man who worshiped God when he was poor and kept worshiping God even when he was a celebrity.
