A beautiful wedding celebration in Zimbabwe nearly turned into tragedy when lightning suddenly struck the tent, right in the middle of a gospel performance by sensational artiste JONAH CHIVASA.
The incident happened recently as Chivasa was performing his viral hit ZVINOITA NYASHA (“That’s What Grace Do”). In a dramatic twist, lightning struck, sending guests screaming and scattering in shock, yet miraculously, no one was hurt.
Chivasa later confirmed the incident, saying:
“I was singing at a wedding when lightning struck. By the grace of God, everyone was protected (Ndozvinoita Nyasha). Watch till the end. 🤯🙌🏾”

Social Media Reacts
As the video spread online, Zimbabweans couldn’t help but speculate, some crediting God’s protection, others suspecting witchcraft, and a few insisting it’s just science.
One comment read:
“Scientifically hatina mheni yakadaro muzimbabwe….iyi yatogadzirwa nekamwewo kachembere kasina mazino frontline rese iyi….”
Loosely translated: “We don’t have lightning that strong in Zimbabwe… this must have been made by some old toothless witch.”
Another user joked:
“Now the song has full meaning, you must make this the official music video and add advanced lyrics.”
Someone else added humor with frustration:
“Varoyi vanofa riiniko tizorore 🤥🤕🤕”
Loosely translated: “When will witches die so we can rest?”
Others blended faith and sarcasm:
“Lightning iyi taitogadzira nayo magetsi 😢, varoyi vekuzim ndeve kushaya.”
Loosely translated: “We could’ve used that lightning to generate electricity — Zimbabwean witches are good for nothing.”
Another one said:
“Ana tete veZaka vakati kwete tokutumira mheni mwari wekudenga akati ndimi anani munoda kuparadza wooow mwari uyuuuu ka.”
Loosely translated: “Aunties from Zaka sent the lightning, but God intervened saying, ‘Who are you to destroy what I’ve blessed?’ Wow, what a mighty God!”
Another chipped in:
“People were saved because of this worship song. If it were another type of song, we’d be telling a different story now. God protects His own 🔥.”
Another one added:
“Don’t play with the prayers of parents. Mwari uyu!!”
Science Speaks
Not everyone bought into the supernatural angle. Some users leaned toward scientific explanations, reminding others that it’s rainy season in Zimbabwe, and lightning is simply part of nature.
“Lightning yemushonga inochera sekunzwa kwandinoita, kana kwainaya musi uyu it’s possible kuti lightning yakangoitikawo and nelighting iri apo iyo magetsi akawandisawo.”
Loosely translated: “From what I know, that wasn’t magical lightning — it probably struck naturally during the rain because of electrical build-up in the area.”
Said another one:
“Maybe it was because the tent was the highest object on a flat surface.”
Between Science And Faith
Whether you believe this was a divine miracle, a spiritual attack, or just science doing its thing, one truth stands: everyone survived.
And as Chivasa’s fans put it, maybe this was proof that Zvinoita Nyasha wasn’t just a song title, but a lived experience.
