Calls on Mugabe to resign…Chipanga

Controversial Sungura musician Josiah Chipanga says President Robert Mugabe should cede power to a younger and energetic cadre even from his Zanu PF party.
Mugabe has ruled the country since independence in 1980 and has been at the helm of his Zanu PF party since 1975.
The veteran leader has never allowed succession debate in his party, and has eliminated those making such calls.
Chipanga who was performing at the Joice Mujuru led Zimbabwe People’s First political party rally in Chinhoyi,  at the weekend, told Newsday at he was prepared to perform at Zanu PF rallies where he would challenge the aging leader to resign.
“Zanu PF needs to be reformed and should allow the younger generation to take over. The father should be led by the children when they are old enough,” he said.
Chipanga however said that in as much as he would want to perform at political rallies, he was discouraged by some of them who do not pay for the services.
“Very few people are attending live shows nowadays, mainly because of the harsh economic environment that has eroded people’s disposable incomes,” he said.
“I can sing for any party, including Zanu PF, as long as they pay me, but unfortunately some parties refuse to pay after the show.”
Of late, the musician alleged that national broadcaster; Zimbabwe Broadcasting Corporation had not been playing his music because he was critical of the administrative short-comings of President Robert Mugabe’s government.
Chipanga, who recently released a new album, Gamba, dedicated to the late decorated former Zimbabwe National Army commander, Solomon Mujuru, took a dig at Mugabe, whom he said should hand over power to a younger generation.
