But sir dai mafadza tese at the same time tichinamata munaMwari munotanwa nekufarwa so God will still be happy, THE brand Baba Harare is to big and blessed to just forget about what made u famous and great mafungiro anguwo hanguwo iwawowo.

@DJ Blesh;

No… don’t change name. Let the brand you have built sustain the new brand you are building. Who ever is managing you needs to strategize first.

Yes we understand baba harare has resonated with Jiti… but you building a new brand requires Baba harare because baba harare brand will convert people to the new brand you are selling. It will take more time to build traction with the new name.
