Vusumuzi Vusa Ndlovu
Vusumuzi Vusa Ndlovu was born on 19 October 1974 in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe’s second largest city which is in Matebeleland. It is from here that he was introduced to Imbube early and fell in love with it. At nine years Vusa was already singing in the school choir. His school, Mahlabezulu Primary was within walking distance from his home in Tshabalala township. He recalls: “I was in third grade when I first sang in a choir and my voice just opened up. I remember loving it and was lucky because at home my family sang together at special occassions.
In 1992 He joined Insingizi and began performing professionally in schools, community halls, festivals. He says: “It was magic. I had replaced one of the member who left the group and we sang like we depended on it.
