Dorcas Moyo Slammed as ‘Chigananda’ After Post Discouraging Calls for Political Change – Allegedly Eyeing Chivayo’s Car

Harare – 29 March 2025

By Showbiz Reporter | Celebrated gospel singer Dorcas Moyo has come under intense public scrutiny after she posted a cryptic message on Facebook that many interpreted as discouraging Zimbabweans pushing for political change.

In a now-viral post, Moyo wrote: “Ranganai henyu asi zvichakonaaaa”, loosely translating to “Go ahead and plan, but it won’t succeed.” The timing of the post, just as the hashtag “#31MillionMarch” gained traction across Zimbabwe and the diaspora with calls for President Mnangagwa’s resignation, has triggered outrage.

The backlash was swift and fierce, with fans and followers accusing the gospel artist of siding with the ruling elite for personal gain. One commenter, Baba titi tolker, warned:

“Sister… before you post, tarisa zviri kuitika. Vangu tirikuti 31M Munangagwa must go, then imi munyora zvakadaro! Which side are you?”

Many accused Moyo of angling for a car from controversial businessman Wicknell Chivayo, who has been gifting expensive vehicles to artists seen to align with ZANU-PF.

User mambokadzi wrote sarcastically: “Asi makapromiswa mota naChivhayo here mukuposter izvi?”

Another chimed in: “vakapiwa ava mota.”

Eddie Lynny bluntly posted: “Dorcus apa wabhaiza zvako… I’m deleting all your songs, uri chigananda iwewe.” The term “chigananda” is often used pejoratively in Zimbabwe to refer to someone seen as blindly loyal to corrupt leadership.

Amid calls for boycotts of her music and questions about her Christian values, Moyo has yet to issue a clarification or response.

Political tensions continue to rise as discontent grows nationwide. With artists and public figures being pushed to take a stand, the line between silence, complicity, and survival has never been more fragile.
