Gift Amuli
Gift Amuli is a Zimbabwean musician who specialises in the Sungura genre. He is well known for his hit song Wamatuka. His fans affectionately know him as Case. Gift Amuli started off with the Zig Zag Band in the 80s before joining the Joseph Mutero led Zvishavane Sounds who produced the 90s hit Mutongi Gava. Gift Amuli and other musicians were employed fully as musicians by Shabanie Mine as part of the mine's social responsibility. However in 2001, the conditions of work for the musicians changed and they were required to undergo training in any one of the mine's departments as full-time workers and part-time musicians. As a result, Amuli trained as an electrician. In 2002, Amuli had a solo project, a five-track album titled Wedangwe which did not do well. In 2003, Amuli left the mine's employ and left for South Africa in search of greener pastures and when he came back he produced the album Munozvigona Sei. It is this album that put him on the country's Sungura map with the hit Wamatuka.
