The Kumbumura Mhute singer said the single would first be released on his upcoming DVD while it will be part of his next album.

Jah Prayzah said Moyo Wakaoma would be released at the end of September, and it also features his son on the video.

On the video of the song, Jah Prayzah tackles baby dumping, once again proving his prowess in creative videos as he appears mimicking a woman dumping her baby.

The baby in the video later grows in the care of a nun, but the mother decides to retrace her past to find her son.

With his rich lyrics, he explores the emotional and physical pain children go through in their everyday lives and advises women never to dump children no matter the circumstances.

“I was moved when a friend visited me at my offices and told me that he was not staying long as he was rushing to see a baby that had been dumped. When he left I just thought of putting my sentiments into a song as I also realised that it is an issue musicians have never tackled fully,” said Jah Prayzah.

Meanwhile, the singer took the opportunity to talk about his Botswana tour.

“I was shocked that I had such a large fan base in Botswana, it felt like I was playing back here. All of my shows were almost sold out,” he said. “We met Botswana artiste Vee and plans are currently underway to hold joint shows both here in Zimbabwe and Botswana.”
