Creative voices speak on today’s polls

TODAY, the nation goes to polls and it will be the first time Zimbabwe holds an election without former President Robert Mugabe on the ballot paper to represent the ruling Zanu PF party.

Artistes across all genres have castigated the ruling party for the rot it has caused in the past 38 years and for failing to turn the creative sector into a viable industry.

This election, considered as historic for the nation, will be remembered for attracting a record number of 23 presidential candidates since independence, with one of the candidates being African roots musician and sculptor Bryn Taurai Mteki, popularly known as Sekurutau.
