Alick Silva Macheso grew up on Hereford Farm and attended Enterprise Primary School in Shamva during the colonial period. He has five half-siblings named Mike, Harrison, Partson, and Jones and Hilda. His uncles taught him how to play the two-string banjo. Silva did many music performances in Shamva, thus became popular in the region by the time he was a teenager.
Alick Macheso's family
He has five children with his first wife, Nyadzisai Macheso, and two kids with his second wife, Tafadzwa Mapako. Silva divorced Tafadzwa in 2014. In 2013, Tafi Phiri from Chipinge claimed to be the artist's father but never did a DNA test. Moreover, he left Chipinge after his marriage collapsed.
Macheso's divorce scandal
Tafadzwa's marriage to the musician was her third failed marriage. She demanded $7,130 monthly to cater for her children, Maneesha and Alick Junior, but the court sliced the divorce settlement to $1,030 per month.
He denied Tafadwa's accusations that he would ejaculate into a child's mouth to cure nhova, a child's fontanelle. In this traditional practice, a father slides his manhood all over the child's face, ears, and head.
Tafadzwa's second claim was that her husband's small manhood did not satisfy her. Therefore, she refused to get intimate with him after giving birth to their second child. Silva demanded a DNA test on Tafadwa's children, and it proved he was their father.

The most famous song on the album is Pakutema Munda.
In 1997, Silva joined Nicholas Zakaria's Vhuka band. He later formed the Khiama Boys music band and dropped it to establish an orchestra, Mberikwazvo, with Nicholas's younger brother called Zakaria Zakaria, aka Zaka Zaka. Is Zaka Zaka back to Macheso? Yes, he returned to the team last year.
Simbaradzo and Zvakanaka Zvakadara became popular in the early 2000s. The artist recorded these songs with the Bhundu Boys group. People also loved his songs Mundikumbuke and Amai VaRubhi.
