Solomon Skuza

Solomon was shot during the war that is why he could not dance during his performances. The actual cause of Solomon Skuza's death remains unknown. During his sickness period, Solomon was taken to some traditional healers (known as 'inyanga') but, they could not ascertain his cause of sickness. He also went to doctors who, like the nyangas, could not see anything. Consequently, Solomon died in 1995.

In 1990 he did a soundtrack, Patimile, for the Zimbabwean film Jit.

In 1980, Skuza returned to Zimbabwe and produced a hit single, Banolila, which sold over 75,000 copies. His 1990 album, Love and Scandals, was a commercial and critical success, due to its political content regarding the Willowgate Scandal of the time. In one song, he asks, "how can someone buy a car and sell it again?" In another, he sings of his love leaving him for "a guy who owns a Cressida", referring to the Toyota Cressidas assembled at Willowvale. It was this album that earned him the nickname "Jah Solo."

Solomon Skuza (1954–1995), also known as Jah Solo was a Zimbabwean musician, one of the most popular to come out of Plumtree. In addition to his native Kalanga, he wrote lyrics in Ndebele, Shona and English as well. Other popular Kalanga musicians include Nduna Malaba (Ndux Malax), Ndolwane Super Sounds, Mokis Connection and Solomon's brother Chase Skuza.

Born in 1954 in Plumtree, Solomon Skuza went into exile in Zambia during the Rhodesian Bush War to join the Zimbabwe People's Revolutionary Army (ZIPRA). Skuza played in the ZIPRA band and entertained guerrillas at ZIPRA camps. He later became the band leader and an official composer for the ZIPRA Entertainment Corps.
