THE old sayings that humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less and never look down on anybody unless you’re helping them up, speak to the character of sungura maestro Alick Macheso. His 53rd Birthday celebrations at KudaVana Children’s Home in Zimunya, Mutare South last week Thursday (June 10) showed that the superstar values ubuntu (human compassion). He showed sincerity and compassion towards children and people in general.
Below is Macheso’s visit at the centre in pictures:
