‘Politics and arts inseparable’

AS Zimbabwe marches towards this year’s harmonised elections, the year has already opened with one of the country’s most sought-after artistes Wallace Chirumiko, popularly known as Winky D, stirring up emotions in the arts and political scenes with his latest album Eureka Eureka.

The album has ruffled the feathers of Zanu PF followers and sympathisers, who described it as anti-government and want it banned.

Two of the songs on the new album, Ibotso and Dzimba Dzemabwe, are littered with political lyrics that have unsettled the regime.
