By Showbiz Reporter| Chimurenga music King Thomas Mapfumo says if Robert Mugabe was still in power, he would not have returned to Zimbabwe.

Speaking during a press conference Friday morning, Mkanya expressed gratitude to the New Dispensation – the coup and transition that removed Mugabe and made Emmerson Mnangagwa the new President.

He said “well, it seems there is a little change…because if it was still the old system, I wouldn’t be here, i wasn’t going to be here if the old man still around, i wasn’t going to be here.”

He also announced that he is currently busy in the studio working on a new album called: “Chauya Chauya!”

Mkanya responding to another question on meeting President Emmerson Mnangagwa said, “I would love to meet him (Mnangagwa)…

“I would love to meet both leaders of the ruling party an the opposition. We are one, we are the same people. You know where we live, there are the democrats and Republicans. if you say bad things about one of them, they will turn against you…We have got to love one another, we are the same people…this is why I am saying Africa should unite because we are Africans…

“We should unite as Africans and build a good future for our children, but it seems most of our leadership they concentrate on stealing, that’s not good for our people.

When asked if you were to meet up Robert Mugabe today, what would you say to him?, Mapfumo said. “I would tell him that what you did you messed up.”
