Michael, who is the fourth of the Mahendere siblings — Akim, Amos and Misheck — who make up the popular gospel group, Mahendere Brothers, emphasised that going solo on this project does not mean he has deserted his brothers.
“I am still a member of Mahendere Brothers and very much committed to work with the group in our endeavour to spread the Word of God through praise and worship,” Mahendere said.
