Exiled Chimurenga music legend Thomas Mapfumo speaks to Lance Guma on the current situation in Zimbabwe.
Mapfumo criticized businessman Wicknell Chivayo and the Zanu PF government for donating expensive cars to musicians while ignoring the poor state of hospitals and the poverty that most Zimbabweans face.
“You’re giving cars to musicians, yet they already have their own cars, which they bought through their own means,” he said.
“Why can’t you just channel that money to hospitals? Our roads are in a bad state, and people are living in poverty. Our fight is not for certain individuals to get a good living but for everyone to come out of poverty.”
