Outrage as Mtukudzi backs Mugabe (Part 3)
Many of you were outraged that Oliver Mtukudzi performed at a Zanu PF rally. Hudreds of you have been e-mailing, this is the third series of your shouts
Editor - I read the shouts on Tuku's Mujuru Gala. Tuku is preaching and practicing love. Unfortunately his fans seem not to understand this esoteric noble man. Jesus said love your enemies. It is only in this way that you will achieve victory over your enemy and Tuku is doing just that -- showing the Zanu PF warriors that he loves them. This misguided Western Philosophy of sanctions in whatever form leads nowhere. Anyway the Western Politicians have little understanding if any of what love is. Theirs is nothing more that the desire and pursuit to win the world and yet lose their lives.
To those that want
to boycott the Tuku gala, go ahead but you will not succeed in the long
run because Tuku preaches about love and love is all we need in this
world. Please don't be contaminated by Western
political ideas because you are there in Diaspora in closest proximity
with the source of Western political ideas. Keep the African ubuntu
values of loving your enemy.
If there is any
reason why the MDC will never be able to bring about democracy or change
for that matter is because of their leak of understanding of love. Do
not tour the world and demonize your enemy but tour the world and show
it that you love your enemy. Do not say to anyone that I am better than
my enemy for you are not. Until all the forces up and against the present
tyranny come to understand that it is only by loving the oppressor that
they will achieve a complete and total victory over the enemy, theirs
in prolonged suffering doom.

Editor - Allow me to air my views on the issue of Tuku and his Zanu PF relatives. Tuku was wrong to play at Joyce Mujuru's function, he owes his fans a very big apology, or he will lose them one by one like what happened to Simon Chimbetu. How could he do that when we had built so much trust in him.
What the ZIMTOWNSHIP
promoters are saying is something that is unfounded, all they are concerned
about is making profits forgeting the reason why we are here, so whatever
they said about Tuku is no defence. The man is wrong and should stay
there in Dande. As for me, Ihad already bought a ticket for his forthcoming
shows, but i will not bother attending his shows no more. YAAKADYA YANGU
NDIYOYO. (Swallow your pride Tuku and APOLOGISE).
Joe Mlauzi
London
Editor - I would
like to add my shouts on the Tuku issue. I will focus on the statement
made by Zimtownship, the promotors. I found the statement to be pathetic
and naive. They want to blame New Zimbabwe.com for allegedly putting
up a misleading headline by comparing to what was in the Herald. They
dont seem to understand who the Herald writes for, and who New Zimbabwe.com
write for. You write for the down trodden masses of Zimbabwe many of
whom have been forced to leave their country and loved ones in order
to try and erk out a living in foreign lands. And it is rightly news
for us, when one whom we thought was with us decides to turn into a
Judas Iscariot. I think we need some investigative journalism from you,
to tell us who exactly is behind Zimtownship. We have a right to know
that they are not in any way linked to the regime in Zimbabwe before
we take appropriate action.
Kapejo Mukawere
Editor - The Rwandan
catastrophe was worsened by people like yourselves who practice politics
of hate. Anybody is free to support a political organization of their
choice be it NDU, NDA, ZANU MDC etc and this applies to Tuku. Please
be mature and assess the situation on the ground objectively. There
is no reason for Zimbabweans to hate one another for the sake of some
one to lead the country. You are not doing any good for your favoured
opposition to spread malicious rumours because people on the ground
are not fools. MDC should work hard to win the votes based on the truth
and not hate campaigns as is the case.

Editor - I liken
Tuku to a man who tells a beautiful lady that he does not care
much about what she thinks or needs, then proceeds to ask the lady to
marry him!! An honest man indeed. And now he is on his way to England.
Let's see what response he gets there.

Editor - I think
Tuku as anybody else has a right to play his music anyway. He has the
right to celebrate with Zanu PF. He has the right to entertain his clansman.
He has all the rights but people will always talk. If you see your wife
in the company of whores, you would discourage her because you know
she has rights to choose her friends, bad as they maybe. If you advise
her and she insists then you would be in your correct sense to suspect
she is also a whore. So as ZPF bludgeon people and Tuku sings for them,
we may be in our correct senses to think he has joined in the fray.
As for those promoters, they have reasons to be angry because they know
they butter their bread through the man. But Tuku as an entertainer
try to avoid areas where things like pasi nanhingi are mentioned,
you will be counted with that crowd.
T.Mashayamombe
Editor - I am appalled by the way New Zimbabwe.com can sometimes be so hypocritical and downright sensational tabloid material. There are numerous examples, but the case of the Tuku story brought it up for me again. As far as I am concerned you are also displaying The Herald or Sunday Mail mentality - forcing opinions and viewpoints down our throats. Do I have to think like you do? Please do not think for us. Just report and not opinionate.
It is up to me to decide what I think from the report!! It all starts with your sensational headlines. Already we can see where you are leaning from there. I am not even going to look at whether Tuku was wrong or right, or his reasons - he obviously has some that compelled him to do what he did. It's the manner of reporting that has prompted me to write this e-mail.
Looking at the way you covered the Tuku story, one wonders why you are covering Jonathan Moyo the way you are. If there was any consistency in your policy of let's shut out "evil" people as you are advocating for Tuku don't you think we should have less coverage of the architect of the repressive laws you cry about? (and Tuku is nowhere near this man). And yet since leaving government the Professor has received acres of coverage from the same people he wanted to shut down. Obviously it's your call who or what to cover.
To put things into
perspective, on Friday thousands went and paid to watch the very same
Tuku who is being demonised in Harare. Were those MDC or ZANU PF supporters?
I don't know. Did they not know where he performed the previous week?
What did they think about it? From your story one would infer only ZANU
PF supporters would go. Really? The long and short of it is for those
that are home life goes on. For us in the diaspora it has slowed down.
Everyday we think about how "it used to be" back home - the
nostalgia is intense. They are getting on with what they have - good
or bad. It really is each man for himself - including Tuku. Zvanzi
nhamo yeumwe hairambirwi sadza. Please let's put into action what
we are preaching - tolerance. If you are not going to a Tuku show anymore,
fine. If someone else wants to go, fine. We all want freedom of choice
and opinion to thrive. Let's not stifle it by using a public forum to
"guide" the thinking of the people. Is that not what you purport
to be fighting against? Think about it.

Editor - Mtukudzi
can kiss my support goodbye. I will never again buy his CDs. It's truly
a sad day for me and I am sure for a lot of his fans. I am amazed at
how money can change people. Where is his dignity how could he sell
his soul. No matter what he tries to do to gain my loyalty his image
has been tainted in my eyes. He will never be the same Tuku to me.
Go well with the rest of the worst human rights abusers. You have lost
my trust Tuku. No words can express my deep dissapointment. Never again
will I attend your shows. TRAITOR!!!!

Editor - I live
in Johannesburg and I am also disappointed by what Tuku has done. And
for your information, it was in the South Africa newspapers a few weeks
ago that Tuku has now applied for South African Citizenship or Permanent
Residence. What hypocrisy!! If Zimbabwe is worth celebrating with the
Mujurus why is he applying to come and live in South Africa? Zvinogumbura
fani.
Time alone will tell like Bob Marley once said – think you are
in Heaven but you are living in Hell.
P/S Please forward all our emails to Tuku.
Shandi
Joburg
Editor -
In any struggle for freedom some people fall by the wayside.
They become disoriented and engage in psychotic behaviour. This is the
tragedy for any revolution. For all brave men and women forging to liberate
Zimbabwe there are reactionary elements that get a schizophrenic paralysis
of rational thinking and like a deer at night they run in the direction
of headlights of an oncoming bus. Oliver Mtukudzi, while Zimbabwe’s
premier cultural music icon who has
entertained millions of Zimbabweans, has proved blatantly naïve
in the politics of liberation. Yet this is strange because musicians
are social artists who paint in their music pictures of the situation
in the country.
Mtukudzi is an idiot savant, that is, a person with extraordinary skills in music and yet politically mentally retarded.
It is very tempting to call for a mass boycott of Mtukudzi’s music and concerts. But being a political infant is Mtukudzi likely to appreciate, let alone understand, the gravity and seriousness of Zimbabweans’ determination to liberate themselves from Mugabe?
If all he sees in Joyce Mujuru is a relative from his home area will Mtukudzi ever understand in his pathological naivety that Mujuru is one of the coldest bloodied murderers in Zimbabwe, that she has plundered resources from the poor and one who has been part of ZANUPF systematic brutalization of Zimbabweans?
My advice to my fellow Zimbabweans is Mtukudzi is too much of a political zero to waste time and resources on. The struggle for liberation cannot be distracted by political nonentities like Mtukudzi. Let him, leave him to lie in the grave he has already buried himself in and let us focus on the greater struggle ahead.
Should we listen
to Mtukudzi’s music? Why not? A deer that has been
killed by a bus because of its foolishness in running towards the bright
headlights of the bus can make a delicious dinner. And you can enjoy
the dinner without giving the slightest thought of the deer and the
circumstances of its roadkill.
Prof Stan Mukasa
U.S.A
Editor - There is
absolutely nothing sinister about Tuku singing for Joyce Mujuru. Tuku
behaved and acted within the confines of his individual rights. If he
recognizes Joyce and the position she holds, he's every right to express
it. In fact, I'd love it if Tuku would come out if the shell and confess
that he supports Zanu PF or Robert Mugabe. Tuku is no different from
Oprah Winfrey who's a quintessential Republican or Martin Sheen, a die-hard
Democrat.
Following George Bush's globally contemned adventure in Iraq, scores
of prominent Hollyhood stars came out to express their opinions. Some
supported the war and the human rights atrocities (e.g. Abu Grabu prison
tortures), the lies and cover-ups that went with it. The likes of Susan
Sarandon, Richard Gere and Marisa Tomei publicly condemned it. And rightly
so. Danny Glover even called George Bush a racist.
The point is: We've not heard of situations where the American public
boycotted these stars for their political positions. A Zimbabwean, whether
Zanu PF or MDC or Ndonga or Independent or ZAPU is a Zimbabwean.
Obert Madondo
Toronto
Editor - When are we likely to get a response from Tuku? We want to
know where he stands so that we can make informed decisions. He might
be a good singer but if he is on the other side of the stick.....I will
delete him from my Media Library.
Maluzha
NZ
Editor - I am extremely
angry with what Tuku has done the past few days when he shared stage
with Joyce Mujuru. Tuku claims to be non-partisan yet he is the very
same person who plays centre-stage at a ZANU PF sponsored party. To
be precise, what Tuku has done as shall be observed in the near future,
is to betray his fellow hard-won supporters. We in the diaspora have
ran away from our motherland, Zimbabwe, because of the ruin that ZANU
PF has done to our once good economy. On the same token, I am very shocked
to learn that a singer whose sentiments and initiatives could reach
the slightest mind all over the World is now singing for the imfamous
ZANU PF. What justification do you have Tuku for your actions? Your
reason to justify your mistake is very unfortunate for a person of your
stature. So because you a Judah Iscariot, you shall reap what you sow.
I will never ever buy your CDs again and I will preach that message
to all your fans. I have run out of pleasant words for you. Down with
you!!!! Pasi newe!!! Find your audience in the growth point and not
in the diaspora any more!

Editor - It came
as a surprise for me to hear that Tuku sang at a ZanuPf function.I am
a great fan of Tuku but now I feel betrayed and used.I had planned to
attend his shows here in the US but not anymore.I think Tuku is being
overzealous,he thinks he has made enough money to do whatever he wants
regardless of how his fans feel.Zimbos in the diaspora should join forces
and show him that he can not take his fans for grantend.Boycott all
his shows in the UK , let him get the message loud and clear.
Angry Zimbo
Gerogia,USA
Editor - Just to alert to a little history. Thomas Mapfumo performed at Bishop Muzorewa's UANC rally on the run up to the 1980 general elections. Zex Manatse and the Green Arrows performed before the ZANU PF rally.
I cannot remember any political division among their fans over these events. This is showbiz! Mtukudzi does not need to explain himself to MDC sympathisers. He has been performing in Europe since the 1980s, well before the MDC came into being. So the threat of MDC supportes in diaspora to boycott his shows is inconscequential. Are MDC fans unable to see beyond themselves.
Come to think of
it, why does the MDC groom its own crop of musicians?
Dixon Ziyadhuma
Editor - I think
we have lost the plot here. Tuku is an individual human being who also
has the same human rights as you and me. I have seen in the just ended
American elections famous actors and musicians openly came out in full
support of the Republicans or Democrats and none have been demonised.
It is immature and uncivilised politics to hate a colleague because
he doesn't support the same party as mine. What does free and democratic
mean? Lets not try to destroy the basic principles of human rights.
A society built on hate is violent and dangerous. People should support
MDC, ZAPU, ZANU NDONGA OR ZANU PF without fear of them being victimised
or demonised. We should learn a thing or two from the British society,
they are the Conservatives, Labour, Liberal Democrats, Ukip etc and
never have you ever heard of a fight in the House of commons or political
violence on the estate and their media is very patriotic which gives
everybody a sense of belonging and are proud of their country. Jeffry
Archer is a renowned author (very famous) but he is member of the Conservative
in fact a Lord but I have never heard anybody call him because he is
a Conservative lord. His books are still selling. LETS INFORM AND NOT
MISLEAD.
Thom Zinyemba
Editor - What was once sweet melody music from this man will not be any different from Elliot Manyika's Nora circus. Those claiming to defend Tuku must know that Zanu PF has marginalised Zimbabwean musicians all these years in favour of DRC rumba Muppets like Kanda Bongoman who we later discovered to be a Kabila pal. From those rumba music fund-raising shows by Zanu PF charlatans dating back some years, a connection was eventually made to Kabila who made his fortunes in Night Clubs in countries like Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi and Zaire. Then there was a DRC War - In other words, no rumba in Zimbabwe, no war in DRC, No deaths of our brothers. So with Dr Tafataona Mahaso, as Head of the Arts Council in the mid 90s, there was a well calculated move to pump in more rumba at the expense of local stuff and our music industry sunk and Thomas Mafpumo had to do a runner into foreign lands while Tuku fed on spoils at home and away.
Coming up here in
the Diaspora masquerading as a musicians, churning out those innocent
lyrics, maybe fund-raising for Zanu PF from disenfranchised voters like
so many of those Rumba singers. We were made to believe that rumba music
is better than our own traditional music but Tuku got the airplay since
1980, while others got nothing. Paul Matavire died last week a haunted
man because he sang for a Jairos Jiri band regarded as having saved
the Rhodesian Broadcasting Corporation or Jairos Jiri organisation istelf
was labelled all the nonsense and so is Safirio Madzikatire whose crime
was to advertise an "imperialists' product "New Blue Surf,
for an "imperialist" Liverbrothers Ltd for programes shown
on Rhodesia Broadcasting Corporation.
Nope Tuku is not one of us anymore - he now belongs to the like of Andy
Brown, Chimbetu, Elliot Manyika, Chinx and all the muppets at the disposal
of the Zanu PF circus.

Editor - Well once
again we see another man forget where his bread comes from. Tuku decides
to prostitute himself to pple who want him "short time"...He
should have sat down and thought to himself "Who has been feeding
me all this time??"..The answer "The multitude of fans spread
across the globe"....And why are they spread across the globe..???
Because the devils he is choosing to sleep with now have forced them
into lands far and wide to seek a better life..!!! Does it need a rocket
scientist to figure out the passion with which all these pple hate anything
to do with ZANU PF...With the oncoming tour of UK Tuku has just caused
the promoters a serious headache as they now face one loss from this
tour..but then i guess what does it matter to him, like a prostitute
all that matters is that he s got his money anything else is secondary.
I speak for many when i say my plan to attend that show has just fizzled
away and never again will i be buying any of this once great musician's
cds...Tuku, by prostituting yourself to these dirty evils I hope you
"catch something" really serious..!!!! catch the pun????

Editor - I think
most of you guys are getting it all wrong. Tuku is just an individual
like any body else and he is free to be part of any group which takes
his fancy. That he performed at a Zanu PF function is neither here or
there. What makes all the people so sure that Tuku will vote for Zanu
Pf. Even if he does so,it is his democratic right. Those who feel Tuku
is getting all wrong are free to do what they have done with those that
have sided with Zanu PF, The likes of Chimbetu and Andy Brown. Just
stop buying his music or attending his shows, simple. It is his right
to do whatever he wants with his time.

Editor - Tuku is such a digrace to support Zanu PF at such a time. We
have always backed Tuku in his live shows in England by at least attending
them, but if he has decided to meddley into politics he MUST be prepared
to lose a good share of his fame as some of his followers like me are
now ex. He is an adult and he must know that the ship he has just jumped
into is slowly sinking.
Kwanele Sibanda

Editor - To think that everyone seems disappointed by Tuku's participation at a ZANU PF rally brings out something that the majority of these so - called Tuku fans do not know. The truth is that Tuku has always been a ZANU PF supporter since the war of liberation days. Remember 'Vanorara Musango' or is it 'Chido Chenyu Here?'
What he has done is what any one coming to the end of his career would do - align yourself with those in power so that you will enjoy the morsels falling from their high tables.TUKU - Be very very careful - ZANU PF chiwororo - bvunza 'Jonatani' Moyo.

Editor - Well ,well,well I can understand the people's anger at Tuku's sudden rebirth. Personally I find it difficult to to describe his actions without swearing , but on careful reflection I think we all understand why , yes we do.
The first question we should ask ourselves is what could have prompted to him to come to this rushed decision without even his manager's blessing and knowledge? .Well your guess is as good as mine.
The truth is they had a quiet word with him and gave him an offer that he could not refuse in the Godfather style. Lets look at it this way Tuku is foremost a family man , he has assets surely given the choice of either his family and assets or the people (heroism) he chose his family.
Unlike most of us
hipocrites who at the slightest tingle of economic hardship and political
strife fled the country he at least was brave enough to fire a few shots
in "bvuma" and stick it out in Zimbabwe upto now.

you do. Ndimi maDictators makuru acho (You are 'the' dictators). Zimbabweans
are such a great amusement...from jealousy, hypocrisy to hatred they
run it all. Tuku don't let anyone deceive you or decide for you how
to live your life neither Mugabe nor these opinonated bufoons here!!!
I woulda' done the very same if I was you. Go on ahead and express your
right to vote anyway cause that is what matters.
Ignore The Haters
Editor - When Tuku
sang songs at rallys in the 80s nobody complained, when he sang his
songs in the 70s nobody complained. Why complain now. Tuku has sang
songs before after Zimbabwe’s economic woos. I see Tuku as a musician
and not a politician. I would be furious if an MDC offical had done
so. Tuku sings everywhere. I rally on Tuku he has proven to be the best
musician ever and he has succeded where many failed. I am so much against
people who become childish enough to blame Tuku on the political and
economic woos of Zimbabwe. Instead of targeting the real culprits people
target an innocent Tuku.
I have been listening to Tuku’s songs since I was a young girl
and he has inspired me. Tuku’s songs talk about the realities
“Ko todini’’ he has never sang a song that goes “ZANU
PF is the best MDC is not”
I am a Zimbabwean and saying so does not mean that I am a ZANU PF supported.
I am 100% disheartened by what my country has become. But please leave
Bra Tuku out of this and lets rally to free Zimbabwe

Editor - Tuku is
as shocking as he is disappointing. I agree with most of your readers
who said that Tuku must just tell us where his allegiances lie. He actually
has the cheek to say that he was celebrating the rise of Joyce, his
home girl – the rise, my foot!! The rise to what? Joyce, et al,
haunted us all out of Zim and Tuku knows it, but he wants to make a
quick buck out of us. He might as well become a Chimbetu or, worse still,
a Brian Mteki.
No matter how much his promoters for the UK trip may try to defend him
– the guy fucked Mr. Editor and he can go right to Hell. Point
is he played at a Zanu gala, and worse still during the period of campaigning.
I didn’t even know that his song is the Zanu campaign-theme song
on TV!!! Maiweeeee!! Then we may as well forget about him.
Yes, it is his democratic right to belong to a party of his choice.
He must then NOT try to cheat us into believing that he is non-partisan.
He must just declare it openly like Chimbetu did. That way, we won’t
have a problem with him at all, as we know how best to deal with such
imbeciles. He must ask Andy and Simon!!! Tuku knows fully well that
99% of the people living in the Diaspora are NOT Zanu (PF). In fact
they are branded enemies of the state by the same party that his beloved
home girl belongs to. He cannot have his cake and eat it.
I support the proposal by one of your readers that all Zimbos living
in the UK must NOT attend his Easter shows. Instead, you guys must mobilize
and demonstrate at the venues by handing him back his CD copies. He
must take his “Nhava” and shove it…… he knows
where! Stupid man!!
Kenneth Tafirenyika,
Johannesburg, SA
Editor - Hey Fellow countrymen at home and in the diaspora, I do find
increasingly pathetic and despicable for anyone to come up with any
Sorry excuse as to reasons why Tuku pledged allegiance to the morally,
socio-economically bankrupt and now defunct Zanu PF. It is exactly the
same as performing at an Apartheid regime ceremony because you came
from the same area or homestead as Botha despite previous protestations
about being morally and socially conscious. Another way of putting across
is maybe he is another turncoat.
UNICEF recently
published that there was a child dying every 15 minutes in Zimbabwe
and not forgetting 2-4000 adults dying every week and our cousins dying
in Matebeleland in the recent months from starvation. I cannot even
find any excuse or justification for this pattern of behaviour in this
extremely sensitive period in the history of our country. To the promoters
it is also another Business ploy, so please just swallow back your ridiculous
press statement and maybe try another new artist to promote so as to
make another bob or two.
Jay Hamilton
Scotland
Editor - I want
to believe that in a democratic country one must be in a position to
choose which party to support. That's not the case with Zim and all
those who know a thing called ZANU PF will agree with me that it's difficult
to say NO when they tell you to do stuff.
Having managed to sneak in to Zim lately. I got to know that whatever
you do and want to make real monies then you have to involve ZANU at
one point or the other. I think we all agree that making monies is the
main thing in life, that's why we are scatted through out the world
like this.
Leave Tuku alone and let him do what he feels like. You all played the
Harare fool and ran away from home because there were some problems
there. Saka leave Tuku do what the other Zimbabweans are doing- MAKING
MONIES BY WHATEVER MEANS UNNECESSARY!! If you guys do love Zim so much
why not catch Mazarura and go back to vote Bob out?
I however hope it was a one off think for the Maestro.
