26 years later, System Tazvida’s shoes still too big to fill

Arts Reporter February is special for the Tazvida clan, family, friends and fans. It marks the month when Nyasha Fanuel Tazvida, popularly known as System Tazvida, breathed his last on February 4 1999. Despite his untimely passing at just 30, he left behind a rich catalogue of songs that resonate with many generations. This year, he would have turned 57, the same age as the living legend Alick Macheso. Twenty-six years after his departure, a lot has happened, with several individuals trying in vain to fill his big shoes.
