Only recently was the Bulawayo South Africa-based songbird
forced into a social media hiatus after her relationship with the unknown
heartbreaker had a sour ending.
“I remember end of last year I had to report here on
Twitter that I was taking a hiatus because I was going through a lot! My heart
and soul were broken. It was a really trying time and it broke my heart to have
to pull away from you all. But it was needed,” she revealed at the time.
“Let me tell you a little bit about my 2018. When I think
back to last year this time I was broke, heartbroken and basically undone. I
had to learn to embrace the pain and the disappointment. I allowed myself to
cry, break and rebel,” she reflected.
However, after that heartbreak, it seems like the Ndicel’
Kiss hit-maker has once again struck love gold, revealing in an interview that
she had rediscovered her strength off the back of a loving relationship. Behind
every successful relationship, it seems, is a good man.
“I am being taken care of (by my boyfriend) and he is very
good for me, and creates an environment for me to work well. Although I am not
mentioning any names, he makes me very happy,” she said in an interview.
That confirmed reports by South African publication The
Sowetan that Berita was indeed in love with a man who appeared to have been close
to her throughout her career.
“She is with someone who she loves, and who understands
where she currently is in her life,” said a source the publication claimed was
close to the Zimbabwe-born musician.
“He is not someone who is extensively in the music
industry, but has had her back throughout her journey.”
For her part, the honey-voiced singer said she found a man
who complemented her drive and purpose in life.
“I wanted to find myself in a relationship where I am loved
and supported. I am in love with the person I am with and also the woman that I
have become.”
Speculation is rife that her latest song, Yours, might be a
dedication to her new beau.
“Make me the empress of your palace; I’m enchanted by your
voodoo; show me the entrance of your castle; all I want is you,” goes a part of
the song. This and the singer’s eagerness to take a plunge into the deep seem
to have ratcheted up speculation that she might have found “The One”.
“I don’t want my fans to be in the dark and not know.
Questioning how a person gets married, if anything (sic),” she said.
Recently, Berita was the ambassador for the recent Moshito
Music Conference and Exhibition in Gauteng, which is aimed at musicians,
artiste managers and publishers. With her music label Assali also making
inroads Berita, who was appointed ambassador alongside the legendary PJ Powers,
said she was inspired to follow in the footsteps of legends that had dominated
for decades.
“Together with the legendary PJ Powers, we were ambassadors
to spread the message and vision of the conference. It also showed me that I am
making strides in the music business. I am inspired by the late Hugh Masekela
and Oliver Mtukudzi who made music for decades,” she said.
With great power comes greater responsibility, the adage
goes and Berita said being her own boss had taught her a lot about the music
industry. Rather than being spoon-fed signee to a larger label, she was now
doing the heavy lifting as a boss in her own right.
“There have been lots of challenges, but I see opportunity
in every one of them. I’m also learning about running my business, training
people and I also have employed people in the business. I will also be part of
the TruTalent Search,” she said.
She also revealed that her successful single, Ndicel’ Kiss
would soon become a part of a new flick on streaming giant Netflix.
“The feedback has been amazing and the song will soon be in
the international arena after being incorporated into a Netflix film. This has
been about growth and experimenting while doing something I love. I am grateful
to wake up every day and staying true to myself,” she said.
After a painful journey of love, heartbreak and self
discovery, the songbird insisted that she was happy with the changes and
evolution that she had undergone. Sunday
