Album sales
Record Labels and/or music distribution companies in Zimbabwe do not release details of the sales of their artistes and so it is difficult to tell the extent to which the album was sold. However, the Zimbabwean Herald Newspaper publishes a weekly poll of the sales performance for each of the main music companies in that country. According to some of these reports,[1] sales of this album were quite good for a number of weeks at least.
Music videos
Only one video was produced for the track Bvuma. The video briefly changes into the song Ndiwe Chete before returning to its title track.
