Berita Reveals What Made Her Travel Home To Zimbabwe & What Hope She Holds
Berita Reveals What Made Her Travel Home To Zimbabwe & What Hope She Holds – Introduced to South Africa with the release of her stunning debut ‘Thandolwethu’.
She revered as a classic South African ballad, Berita has gone on to release three critically and commercially acclaimed albums, earning platinum sales and multiple coveted awards.
Her previous single released early this year, ‘Ndicel’ikiss’ peaked at number 21 on the Radio monitor RAMS chart and has become a firm favourite at live performances.
On the 8thof August 2019 BERITA released YOURS, a single her latest offering which shot straight up to the best of the week on Apple music. Due to the economic and political situation in Zimbabwe in the mid-2000s, Berita immigrated with her family to New Zealand where her parents sought greener pastures and found work as dairy farmers.
The inherent challenges of living in the diaspora as a first-generation immigrant and the pop sounds on the radio at the time inspired Berita to pick up a guitar and begin writing songs. In 2012 Berita moved to South Africa to pursue tertiary studies at Walter Sisulu University in the Eastern Cape Province. This is when she began performing and recording music, these songs would be the foundation of Berita’s first album.
