Musician-cum-politician, Hosiah Chipanga, said he was happy to finally meet President Emmerson Mnangagwa and talk to him.
Chipanga (70) came face to face with Mnangagwa last week on Saturday during a ZANU PF rally at Beaulieu Primary School in Mutasa South.
Speaking during an interview with The Manica Post, Chipanga said he is convinced Mnangagwa is a listening president. Said Chipanga:
Mwari vakapindira (God has intervened). This is the greatest day of my life. It is not a secret that I longed for this day.
I waited for so many years to meet President Mnangagwa.
It is only God who has made it possible and I am forever grateful. It was God’s time.
Although we did not have much time to talk, this was a mission accomplished. One of the reasons I formed a political party was to ensure that my messages would be heard by the people and the President.
Years back, it was not easy to get such an opportunity.
Besides being a social commentator who conveys messages through music, I believe being a politician has made me a sought-after musician.
I managed to talk to him and I am convinced that he is a listening President.
Chipanga took to the stage during the rally and played the track “Diabetes”, drawn from his yet-to-be-released album, “Denga Idzva Nenyika Idzva”; as well as “Vatsigiri Vangu”, a song dedicated to his fans.
