- As the BBC's Connected Africa Day focuses on Africa's new broadband connectivity, Network Africa sessions step in to provide you with the opportunity to really test the new technology by watching the great Zimbabwean singer and guitarist, Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi performing two tracks live in our Bush House studios.
This classic track, Neria is about the strength of women and how they should take their place and not feel inferior to men.
Lyrics (Translated from Shona)
Neria, Neria oooohh
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
God is with you, Neria
God is with you
Losing your husband, sister
requires that you be of strong heart
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
God is with you, Neria
God is with you
Neria, Neria oooohh
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
God is with you, Neria
God is with you
Life is full of twists and turns
Beware of winds bringing trials/tribulations
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
God is with you, Neria
God is with you
Women are often treated as slaves
Living life like orphans
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
Be brave, oh heart, be brave
God is with you
Death is so jealous
Splitting up loved ones
Don't lose heart, my sister
God is with you
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
Persevere, oh Neria
God is with you
Neria, Neria oooohh
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
Don't lose heart, Neria
God is with you
Persevere, oh Neria
God is with you

Still a hit in 2023. African Music, African Culture, African giant. Listened to from Zambia.
This is music. Not skill, not speed, not the complex scales or great orchestras...just a heartfelt tune is enough.
To those asking the meaning of this masterpiece.
This song is a soundtrack to a Zim movie called Neria. Its a didactic movie that's set to expose cultural injustices that widows experience at the hands of late husbands' families particularly in Zim. It's about a widow Neria who lost her husband in an accident, subsequently his relatives possessed everything eg house , furniture, money, leaving her with nothing as he was the bread winner. Tuku in this song is basically consoling her.
Traslation... "Neria don't be disheartened God is watching over you.
Its not easy to lose a husband.. Death is jealous it separates loved ones.."...

Amen sister. It's like he went through the things he sings about, poetry! Powerful!
Literally discovered him yesterday after the BBC announced his death. I am sad that I didn’t discover him earlier but excited to explore his life through his beautiful music.
You would have loved his concerts. Impossible to describe
I wish to personally apologize that it took this long. :) we've been selfish
Who came here after his death
Im deeply saddened
Drizy Davyd it’s painful
I do, so sad now (R.I.P) comment from Tanzania
Me😭😭😭
Drizy Davyd me💖
The Zim government did well by declaring the man a national hero at the time of his death and gave him a state sponsored burial. The man truly was a hero and his work will live for many generations. His music makes me a proud Zimbabwean #DrTuku
Although they never supported him when he was alive.
*Am Here After His Death Anyone Else Who Is Here After His Death??! 😓😓😓
Am here. Rest in peace legend, so painful losing you 😭😭
Right here cutting onions for days
Me too so sad
RIP samanyanya
Very sad 😓😓
I heard this song, sitting at a Java restaurant in Nairobi. I called one of the waiters to ask him who the singer of that beautiful song. That is how I discovered Tuku. From then on I would listen to his music every evening. Then one day, travelling to Dakar, I was at Java restaurant at Jomo Kenyatta airport, Nairobi some guys came to ask me if they could take the seats at the table where I was sitting alone. I said sure and they went to get their colleagues. What a shock or was it astonishment? Tuku was the guy they were getting a seat for, with his team. I was just Boucher bée. I had to shake his hand and soak the moment. Rest in peace Tuku. You made us proud.
Wow...you were so lucky
I love his music too and the deep message it has.
Yes Warue, and we would talk of this with you one time and laughed it out out. I met him at Safari park in the Plan International dinner for the Because I am a Girl Campaign. He was collaborating with Suzanna Owiyo on this project as the brand ambassadors. I queued with him and we talked briefly. He was such a humble and amiable guy. Rest in peace Samanyanga. Your music is just deep.
Evenings with a glass of Merlot and his music playing in the background make me feel content 💕 you’re lucky to have met him.
Did u get his bill.
Don’t be disheartened Neria. God is with you. May your heart be strong , be strong. God is with you. Death is jealous. It seperates those in love. Don’t be disheartened my sister. God is with you. Don’t be disheartened Neria. God is with you. Work hard Neria. God is with you. Neria. Neria, ooooh. Don’t be disheartened Neria. God is with you. Don’t be disheartened Neria. God is with you. Work hard Neria. God is with you

This song brought changes to the Zimbabwean justice system against Widows and how in-laws treat them when a spouse dies. Anyone remember how the law was changed post this song and movie to cater to Women who have lost their spouses and prevent financial and material abuse from their in-Law’s. I was widowed in 1999, I remember this song like yesterday. Thank you Tuku for standing up for women’s rights.
Ppplppllpl
I saw the movie neria,back in the 90s 😭😭😭.Rest in eternal peace🙏.You are dearly remembered😭😭😭😭
sorry for your loss but did you ever remarry ?
It was such a beautifully depicted and sorrowful story. I have never cried that much watching a movie. So grateful for the changes and men who stand up for women's rights.
You mean this song is that old😮 I am a Kenyan who thinks ni ya Jana tu😢
I am from India. I don't know exactly what you are singing. But your voice & music is touching the heart gradually.
This is not only a loss to Zimbabweans , l am a Malawian Loves Oliver Mtukudzi. He was a son of Africa.l have been to his shows in Harare, Lilongwe and London. Your Legends shall live forever Daddy. May His Soul Rest in Eternal Peace💔💔💔😂😂😂

My mother passed away a few years go, this song to her meant everything, in good and in bad time she would always hum the song or play it... Back then i didnt understand what she was doing and why, but now I do, from the song she obtained strenght and hope, she found peace and closure... All the memories i shared with her came back as i heard it for the very first time in years.. I salute you Oliver... Thank you for allowing me to find closure...
Nelson Feni thats deep man feel ur pain. I am always reminded by a saying l saw one some bones at a Capucian house in Rome: what you are l once was and lam you shall be. We all live on borrowed time what counts is what we do and live behind. Your mother l have no doubt is proud of you.
Thou now he's gone today... (R.I.P Legend)

I don't understand but I closed my eyes and felt magic couldn't help the tears.
It a sad song about a woman called Neria. Her Husband died and hes just telling her to hold on. If you like independent films, I think you can find the film this is a soundtrack to somewhere on the internet.
Ntoxybabe I have just watched that film on here (youtube),it's called Neira
I am aware, thank you.

Fresh memories rushes back like an avalanche. Remember watching Neria when I was 10 in Apach in Northern Uganda. When he came to Uganda during one of the Blankets and wine and he played this, I literally shaded tears. I did not attend the event but for some unknown reasons, when he started playing this song, the wind direction changed and bang, i froze. Just so you know, I am a emotionally hard but that day I realised I am a jelly bean. RIP Baba.
