Farai Dziva|Thomas Tafirenyika Mukanya Mapfumo is set to join the August 16 demostration in Harare, a social media platform for youths has reported.

The demo will be led by the Movement for Democratic Change.

“Mapfumo will touch down at 8.30 am on the same day at Harare International Airport and proceed straight to Africa Unity Square,” ZIMUCU reported.

“The time for every Zimbabwean to stand up and be counted is now.

We need to leave a legacy for our children’s children. The liberation struggle was not meant for a few but for us all.

That’s why I am going to Zimbabwe. I want to make a statement that it’s time we allow the young generation to carry the flame,”the Chimurenga music guru reportedly told ZIMUCU.

“Mapfumo urged everyone to participate on August 16 saying this day is a national event where everyone who wants a better Zimbabwe must join.
VivaZimucu.”

The announcement came at a time when however it was doubtful the singer would fly to Zimbabwe after his London feature show afterwhich he appeared needing a rest.

Mapfumo is now souring above the age of 74, and has enjoyed decades of music glory which have seen him becoming the grandpa of Chimurenga music.
