He sings the song in 3 language. Todii (Shona), Senzeni (Ndebele) and What shall we do (English). All meaning the same thing. The song was realeased around 1998, the peak period for HIV and AIDS. It briefly but accurately captures the trials and tribulations of an individual, family, or society as a result of the HIV/AIDS pandemic!
Back then Africa was one small village. There weren't that many notable musicians so we listened to music from All around Africa. Much love from 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 🇰🇪 Kenya
It talks about married woman have no way to refuse the husband knowing he paid bride price. Even if he has Aids. So he is is asking what shall we do with this sickness.
As a Zimbabwean Im overwhelmed with emotions reading through the comments section how Kenyans, South Africans and indeed many African Nations loved and embrace this song and Dr Oliver Mtukudzi like they came from their respective countries. Music does indeed cut across colonial boundaries and unites Generations. Heres to African Unity and an Africa without borders
Just heard the sobg from a local radio station here in Kenya and decided to watch it on RUclips. I'm in love with this song. It's like I'm hearing it for the first song. Well done Oliver mtukudzi
I'm a guitarist from Uganda and would venture to add that every performance we have with my band this song is must play or it would be requested. Such great talent!
Eish when i was i was young i was alwys imagining the far horizon Zimbabwe is through this song, like its in heaven ... thinking back to those years of 1998 we were living a nice life not worrying much that the future wil be lik this...love from Namibia...what shal we do we are getting poorer
When you close your eyes while listening to this song and try to flashback you rem everything in you're childhood and that's the beauty of this song 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Kwa niaba ya Taifa langu Tanzania 🇹🇿 Napenda kutoa pole kwa Familia ya Oliver Mtukudzi na Taifa la Zimbabwe kwa ujumla. Mungu ampe pumziko la milele. 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
Quite nostalgic. The song used to play every morning at Radio Citizen as I prepared myself to go to school. Lot of love from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪. It brings up the memories of two decades ago.
it's about someone is infected with HIV and have a partner but that one between the two is sick and is on medication and not tell the partner and yet you claim to say you love your partner.
If I am to be reminded of my late dad's last voice, I listen to this song. He used to sing to me on the phone when he was away on a peace mission in siera Leon as he was in a army. He used to translate it to me and this will sit inside since it has a special place in my heart. Sending love from kenya
Special thanks to your late dad and a those who fought very hard to restore peace in our country Sierra Leone. May your dad's soul and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in perfect peace.
During my school days back in the days here in Kenya, this song was like an alarm for the school going children as radio stations used to play it very early in the morning, everyday.....memories are still fresh in 2021.. rest in peace legend

Proud African from Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬 these songs are being played in bars, parties, club's here in Uganda alot ,and we seriously love them ..they contain alot of memories of old days
I’m 23 and my eyes are teary listening to these African classics ,brings back so many childhood memories,reminds me of family members and friends that have passed and how different things are ,I miss the good old days 🥺
Bro am also 22 and I remember that song as a kid going to school and we are also gonna get old and leave the earth as our loved ones did it's so painful
Recalling those Early 2000s while on my childhood going to school in Kenya🇰🇪,i used to hear the song on KBC radio taifa each morning,,it was just sweet singing it,thank you Oliver for always making our early mornings to school ,,it just made our days........Hope every kenyan remembers and enjoyed the song, It's forever a rest in peace Oliver🕊️🕊️🕊️this far is God🙏🙏🙏
Ticho Cherotich In this song Tuku (Oliver Mtukudzi) argues that it is so devastating for a wife to contend with HIV/AIDS and the likelihood of a risky pregnancy apparently because the husband silenced his HIV+ status. Tuku calls on society to discuss ways that this issue can be address forthwith.
Grew up listening to this song, i still listen to it, i love it I'm enjoying it...You're a legend Tuku. The angels must be very happy have to have you among them.May your soul rest in peace.. Love from Kenya 🇰🇪 💞
What shall we do? But sisi tulikuwa tunasema, 'wacha wivu,' hiyo ilikuwa baada ya kupewa sumuni na dad alafu ndugu yako anaona wivu. Good memories indeed. If you have same tbt to mine, gonga like
Rest in eternal peace Legend. God bless your soul Oliver. To our Kenyan artists whining in the #playkenyanmusic campaign, let your content win our hearts rather than seeking for empathy. We loved Todii because it appealed to us and not that someone begged us to love it.
Much love from Namibia! I was very young (6 years) when HIV hit the continent, Southern Africa in particular. It was scary 😟. I say, may their souls rest in peace. We truly lost loved once. What was more painful was seeing them die without being able to do anything about their excruciating deaths.
Unfortunately our Legend passed today 23 January 2019😔😭😭 my Heart is broken, lala kahle Mr Oliver💓👉 I'll always love you music and i have most of ur Albums😔
Feeling nostalgic how I miss my childhood memories. This used to be my waking up song. I remember vividly how my late papa could prepare us ' ugali' with fried liver and mama doing the packing of milk and rice as that is what we could have In school. Maaan so much beautiful memories over there. Late 1990s it was.
This song came out during the Era when having HiV was like a death penalty. He is basically saying that what shall we do to get the cure for this pandemic. If there is anyone who can have the ideas on the solution to this crisis, please come forward. He goes on to say: it is so painful to be raped by your married partner, knowing that you have HiV. Above all, there is no solution after death, we want the solution now.
Lesotho, Kenya , Namibia etc really appreciate this song even now in 2022 nearly 2023 in 3 days time ... Africa is full of one love , God bless Africa.

being Zambian is funny i grew knowing this man was Zambian his songs would play rather still playing to date on Zambian radio stations and i used to think he is from eastern Zambia infact the way us Zambians sing his songs it will forever be difficult to convince me he is Zimbabwean "washa widu"
What I really love about Kenya,is that they play and love alot of African music even when they don't understand the language. They don't care. They will sing the song, not even check the meaning most of the time, pronounce the words wrong, but carry along the love.
All the way from Nigeria, My deepest and most heartfelt sympathies for this tragic loss. Last year we lost Hugh Masekela, and now another legend is gone.
Am 24 and first heard this song somewhere 2004. Or 5. Listening to a guy we used to call Mambo Mbotela. Reminds me of the days with radio speaker in a bucket to make it loud... Damn we've come from far. THANK YOU AFRIKA FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
If you are born in Kenya in 90s you must be familiar with this song. Used to play in KBC radio every morning when we used to go to school. I miss old life
Reading comments here, damn, i feel blessed to be a Zimbabwean and to have lived in the era of Tuku and Thomas Mapfumo. thank you all for the heart warming comments😍
i was 12 years old in 2007 my dad used to play this song everyday at 5.30 in the morning now i listen to it and cry am so emotional may his soul rest in peace...thanks to kenyan radio stations
Oh my, this song reminds me back in 90's, I was in a day school, and this song played daily at 6:00am, at KBC 📻, it served as my alarm till I completed my studies, u didn't even know the meaning of this song but I love it, 13days to complete 2021, wish you a happy festive seasons ❤
This song brings back beautiful memories. The first time I took my mum on a safari in the Masai Mara, it is this song that was playing. 🇰🇪 It was one of the best trips of our lives
This man was and still is a legend. I remember when I went to his concert in 2016 in Cape Town, I was blown away. The room was not only packed with black people, but white people too. His music had a way of uniting all races, nationalities etc. The respect I have of him is big. May he continue to Rest In Peace🙏❤️🕯️
As i go throught the comments i love to read and feel different people's stories, and just feel the mystery of life while listening to the song... your was even more beautiful coz it pulled me back to thinking of the love story of ur parents, like how did they come to meet about, to now that you are here... and it can go further deeper thinking of their parents and their parents and so on, and you just realise life is a one beautiful mystery of which we are beyond blessed to be part of it, live it, and experience it, with all it's ups and downs
I never knew the legend's song was about AIDS .It was only after his death that uncle fred enlightened me about the song,,,,,R.I.P my legend,am still mourning from kenya ,,,,,,,,,safiri salama tutaonana badae
Oliver's songs remind me back in the beautiful years when everyone appreciated life and lived it, the childhood days I will one-day tour Zimbabwe,one love from Kenya
Had a neighbour in soweto who used to play his songs and as kids we would sing not knowing the lyrics. Til I would visit my fam in Venda 🇿🇦 and almost every house played his music❤🤗 I think mostly coz we next to Zimbabwe than any province in south Africa
Swahili nations 🇰🇪🇧🇮🇷🇼🇸🇸🇹🇿🇺🇬we all grew up singing along this song and we never cared what we were saying This song hit differently ❤️❤️❤️ The guitar ❤️❤️❤️
Every road trip we took my dad always played this tune😹❤️ I cant wait to get my first car cause this tune is definitely on my road trip playlist. Much love from Botswana🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼🇧🇼

As a Zimbabwean Im overwhelmed with emotions reading through the comments section how Kenyans, South Africans and indeed many African Nations loved and embrace this song and Dr Oliver Mtukudzi like they came from their respective countries. Music does indeed cut across colonial boundaries and unites Generations. Heres to African Unity and an Africa without borders
Just heard the sobg from a local radio station here in Kenya and decided to watch it on RUclips. I'm in love with this song. It's like I'm hearing it for the first song. Well done Oliver mtukudzi
I'm a guitarist from Uganda and would venture to add that every performance we have with my band this song is must play or it would be requested. Such great talent!
I'm from South Africa and have many memories from this song and other songs from this legend. Growing up in SA every household would play this jam🔥🔥🔥🔥

This song came out during the Era when having HiV was like a death penalty. He is basically saying that what shall we do to get the cure for this pandemic. If there is anyone who can have the ideas on the solution to this crisis, please come forward. He goes on to say: it is so painful to be raped by your married partner, knowing that you have HiV. Above all, there is no solution after death, we want the solution now.
Thanx its now clear
Thank you
thank you..i understand now..be blessed
Many thanks for the clarification!
Thanks for helping us understand.
Love from Kenya
Lesotho, Kenya , Namibia etc really appreciate this song even now in 2022 nearly 2023 in 3 days time ... Africa is full of one love , God bless Africa.

TODII WHAT SHALL WE DO
Chorus:
Hooo todini senzeni what shall we do
What shall we do , tingadii
Senzenjani, what shall we do what shall we do
Zvinorwadza sei kurera rufu mumaoko how painful it is to look after someone u know is gonna die
Kana uinawo utachiwana when they have AIDS
Zvinorwadza sei kuchengeta rufu mumaoko this person has gotten something that will lead to their death
Kana uinawo utachiwana when they have AIDS
Bva zvamabata pamuviri pasina raramo death has been made manifest
Kana uinawo utachiwana when they have AIDS
Bva zvapatumbuka pamuviri pasina raramo this is a condition that will not spare them
Kana uinawo utachiwana when they have AIDS
(Chorus)
Senzeni what shall we do
Tingadii what shall we do
What shall we do
(chorus)
Zvinorwadza sei kubhinywa ewaugere naye, how painful it is for the person you live with to murder you
Kana uinawo utachiwana when they have AIDS
Zvinorwadza sei kubhinywa neakabvisa pfuma how painful for the one who paid your bride price to kill you
Kana uinawo utachiwana when they have AIDS
Achiziva unahwo hutachiwana when they know they are infected
Kana uinawo utachiwana when they have AIDS
Ende uchiziva Unahwo utachiwana when they have AIDS
Kana uinawo utachiwana when they have AIDS
(chorus)
Seri kweguva hakuna munamato varume tapererwa (utachiwana) there is no repentence or turning back afetr death
Dondipaiwo mazano we have run out of ideas

Paul u mean u loved him too
This particular song was always capital fm Uganda airwaves
Dear missed😪
This song is really heart touching November 2021 and am still repeating the same song 🎼🎸🎷🎤🎹 all the way from Tanzania 🇹🇿🇹🇿
being Zambian is funny i grew knowing this man was Zambian his songs would play rather still playing to date on Zambian radio stations and i used to think he is from eastern Zambia infact the way us Zambians sing his songs it will forever be difficult to convince me he is Zimbabwean "washa widu"
I thought I was the only one who has refused to accept he is from Zimbabwe 😂😂😂😂
@@taizierchisha6847 hahahaha 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I thought he was Mozambican 🤣
@@zeinabomomade8817 hahaha wish he was still alive
Guys he is Malawian mweeh... Stop confusing us oooh
I grew up singing "Wacha wivu" instead of "what shall we do." This song reminds me of my childhood. Much love from Kenya. RIP Legend
This song is like a national anthem here in Kenya
RIP OLIVER I REMEMBER WAKING UP THE YOUNG DAYS OF MY LIFE AND BOOM THE SONG WAS ON THE RADIO@KBC

What I really love about Kenya,is that they play and love alot of African music even when they don't understand the language. They don't care. They will sing the song, not even check the meaning most of the time, pronounce the words wrong, but carry along the love.
All the way from Nigeria, My deepest and most heartfelt sympathies for this tragic loss. Last year we lost Hugh Masekela, and now another legend is gone.

Ooooooooooh
so sad ma bru
im so sad after hearing the sad news😰😰...MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PERFECT PEACE
Tuku still lives in our hearts. Legends never die. They rest in paradise and peace! #Legacy
As a young South African I think deeply about the question raised in this song... Pertaining to our destinies as African youth.
Am 24 and first heard this song somewhere 2004. Or 5. Listening to a guy we used to call Mambo Mbotela. Reminds me of the days with radio speaker in a bucket to make it loud... Damn we've come from far. THANK YOU AFRIKA FOR THE BEAUTIFUL MUSIC
These songs hit different now😭
AF
I thought I was the only one with that mentality.
YOU LOOK SO BEAUTIFUL BTW😻
You are beautiful though, can we?
Brrrooooo and I was here feeling like I'm getting old hahahaha
Who's listening while in Quarantine?🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

What's the meaning this song?
Desmond Sitakwa I think he’s singing about the devastation HIV and aids has brought to Zimbabwe.
Nna
Am a Ugandan but I love this song. Long live Africa, United we stand
If you are born in Kenya in 90s you must be familiar with this song. Used to play in KBC radio every morning when we used to go to school. I miss old life

This man was and still is a legend. I remember when I went to his concert in 2016 in Cape Town, I was blown away. The room was not only packed with black people, but white people too. His music had a way of uniting all races, nationalities etc. The respect I have of him is big. May he continue to Rest In Peace🙏❤️🕯️
I have always enjoyed listening 🎶 to Oliver's songs...much ❤ from 🇰🇪
I'm Ethiopian Kenyan, I remember going to school listening to this on classic 105 🙏❤
As i go throught the comments i love to read and feel different people's stories, and just feel the mystery of life while listening to the song... your was even more beautiful coz it pulled me back to thinking of the love story of ur parents, like how did they come to meet about, to now that you are here... and it can go further deeper thinking of their parents and their parents and so on, and you just realise life is a one beautiful mystery of which we are beyond blessed to be part of it, live it, and experience it, with all it's ups and downs
