“Don’t take education as a chore but as an investment in your future. You have the potential to become anything you set your mind to, but it takes hard work and dedication. Stay focused and you will be rewarded,” Jareth said.
Jareth’s father was a founding member of the trailblazing Devera Ngwena Jazz Band which released a string of hits including Solo naMutsai in the 1980s. Devera Ngwena Jazz Band was the first group from Zimbabwe to sell music across the borders including in South Africa, Namibia, Zambia, Botswana, Kenya, Malawi and Swaziland.
