2024 we are still listening to this masterpiece!!
I always hear my Dad's Advice when I listen to this song...RIP Dad...
2024 and this song still hits me on a deep emotional level. It was one of the songs my late father's would sing to me, i mostly avoid listening to it because the emotions are so overwhelming

Music that will stand the test of time, listening 2024 all the way from Doha Qatar!
This song can make you cry. Ackim will forever remain among the best.
I wish i knew my parents but my foundation is broken ,I have been educated my such music to shape my life 😢thank God for such people
As a teenager I used to love the song and hoped to have kids with one woman to avoid this type of plea unfortunately I ended up in the same situation and I'm still grateful for each of my kids and I'm always proud of them.

2024/07/20 Who is still listening.May your music live 40 generations from the time it was produced.Uncle Ackim❤️❤️❤️
Whenever I have time I like to listen to this song, and as I listen to it I remember my mother who used to live in a place called Zambia, we were born there even though she is from Tanzania 🇹🇿, For now my mother died, 2005 We came back to Tanzania, She really left me young, I love Zambia 🇿 🇲 much more than in Tanzania, because that's where I was born, Listening to this song I Cry So Much, I Remember My Mother. R.I.P My Mother.

Hearts❤❤❤ to our parents that always taught us the way.
I will never stop playing this song until i die
This song touches me , as I have 3 children from 2 different mothers.
The message in this song exactly talk about what mum shared with me as her first born son. It gives me courage to bring closer my brother and sisters that Dad had after divorcing my biological mother. Thanks mr. Simukonda for leaving us with such a wonderful message. R.I.P Mum and Dad

I MISS MOM & DAD WHENEVER I HEAR THIS SONG.. RIP mom AND dad 💔❤️
My oh my! Akim was not only good with his voice but he used to play his guitar like there was no tomorrow. That's the way it is.
Get well soon father,you lost memory & you can't remember any one & anything. I want to tell you that these are challenging times as a family but your words has kept us strong as a family. A lot are wishing us a down fall but instead,we are getting stronger & stronger by the day than never before. Thank you father & may you get better soon
One of the greatest guitarists Zambia has ever produced. Miss you Akim you went to soon. RIP

This song talks about my life and the children i have from different mothers not that proud of it, its the life i lived with the job i had. Had my first twins with a Congo woman, send born with a Bemba woman, third with my Tonga wife from Southern province and fourth and last with Ngoni woman in Chipata Eastern Zambia. I have not seen my other children for years now because their mothers we never got along.......

You not seeing your own children has nothing to do with thier mothers not getting along, thats just your excuse. A woman cannot have the power to stop you from seeing or taking care of your own blood my brother. Please go and find them. Children are blessings. I come in peace. ❤❤❤
The legacy of this song will continue to live on
The greatest song ever!
RIP GRANDPA
This is 2023 buy the piece of music still carries the strong message
SONG OF DAD TO CHILDREN. VERY HEART-FELT ANS AND STILL VERY TRUE AND RELEVANT. MISS MY FRIEND

Thank you so much for this, I have always loved this song from when I was young but never understood what it really ment cause I dont fully understand the language but thank you for the translation. Beautiful song brings good memories of my child hood
This Song is as Beautiful as the Zambian people....God did something Special in us as a people!!! My prayer is for our country, each family, to take the Lyrics of this song & translate them into Daily Living!!!
The year is 2100 this song was a master piece young ones.
A true reflection of my nation! Beautiful, collected, nurtured, loving and above all Zambian! R.I.P the spirit lives on!
I have really miss my mother 😔😔
I always dedicate this song to my two sisters Veronica and Constance Sakala, the message mum left with us so vividly. Thank you mum Grace.... MYSRIP
21/08/13- remains me of the day you passed mum.....I lost a friend, a mother 😔💔.the song remains me of you....the message just like you used to tell us. We miss you mother 😔
2021 AND THIS SONG IS STILL A HEAT
Akim Simukonda, my mentor! you taught how to strum the guitar. I came to know the language of music because of you. Thank you very much the good job well done. Sleep well till we meet at Jesus' feet!
touching song....reminds me of my uncle,Ackim Simukonda.two pipo sharing the same names,leading the same kind of life style en both not with us...may their souls rest in peace
Thanks to KZread I really enjoy songs as can create a wonderful music library of your choice.
Tasheni , Chebo and Heavenly, papa dedicates this song to your today in 2021. Bond with yourselves and your cousins. Papa is still here.
So touching... Dad oweyz played this song when talking to us
I have noticed one thing in comparison between today's and long time ago music.... A long time ago music was meant to bring people together, love each other and promote unity while today's music is all about hatrage , disunity and self centered lifestyle yielding no positive results.......I can gladly say that today, 08th of may 2023 @ exactly 12:58hrs am listening to this song
2023 still listening to the track, are you?
this song has a touch to it that makes you love Zambia more & reminds you how time has flown from when pipo used to make music which was more Zambian...#no offense to today's music
Will never forget him was young that time
2024 am still listening to real Z music
From chamboli...went to school with elder sister, and she always that he was gonna be big. We miss u alot. Thanx for the music
Beautiful timeless piece and authentic genre original Zambian music I wonder why we drifted to always trying to copying our friends who do south African or Nigerian music and Zambian musicians wonder why it's hard to get to compete at international level and get
The boys who transcended the artificial Colonial Boundaries ! What a resonating nostalgic memory !

RIP Ndimanye Robert Raphael Lwenje. The words of this song remind me of the message you left me with. Though the tides of life have separated us, you live in my heart every day. Bambo Ndimakulemekezani Zambiri Kwamuyaya
