Controversial Zanu PF official, Killer Zivhu, has issued a stern warning to renowned musician and war veteran Clive Malunga, advising him against criticizing President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Zivhu acknowledged Malunga’s courage, calling him a man of “unusual bravery.”

However, Zivhu quickly cautioned the musician about the dangers of challenging Mnangagwa, likening the situation to “playing with fire.” He stated, “Courage yacho ndaitya ini,” meaning he himself fears the bravery displayed by Malunga.

Zivhu went on to say, “Cde ava vari vega here pamafungiro avo, kana kuti chikwata chakatokura, nokuti courage yacho ndaitya ini,” emphasizing that the musician may be operating outside of a larger coordinated effort.

Zivhu, who once served as the Member of Parliament for Chivi South, warned that such bold moves could lead to negative consequences. “Ukatumwa ne chingwa ku Shumba uchinzi inyama, iwe ndiwe uchaita nyama, ukatumwa kundotsika Ngwena uchinzi idanda, iwe ndiwe unorumwa woga vakutuma vavete,” he said on X, warning that those who dare to challenge the powerful might end up suffering alone, without support.

Despite Zivhu’s warning, some observers argue that Malunga’s bravery is precisely what is needed to challenge the ruling Zanu PF party. His courage to speak out is seen by many as a sign of the kind of leadership needed to address the country’s political challenges.

Malunga appeared in a video clip last week attacking Mnangagwa over the 2030 mantra.
