Chamisa responds to Holy Ten endorsing Zanu Pf - Zimmagazine

Hip-hop artist Holy Ten has found himself in the midst of a storm of criticism after publicly aligning himself with the ruling party, Zanu PF, and endorsing President Emmerson Mnangagwa in the lead-up to the upcoming elections. The move has ignited discussions about the role of musicians in politics and the impact of such endorsements on the youth.

Holy Ten, known for his socially conscious lyrics and thought-provoking music, has previously used his platform to shed light on various social and political issues affecting Zimbabwe. However, his recent decision to publicly support President Mnangagwa has sparked controversy, drawing both support and sharp criticism from fans and fellow artists.

The artist’s endorsement of Zanu PF and President Mnangagwa has been met with skepticism and backlash, as many perceive the move as a departure from the independent and critical stance that Holy Ten had previously taken. Social media platforms have been buzzing with debates about the ethical implications of artists aligning themselves with political parties and leaders.

In response to the controversy, the President of the Creative Collective of Zimbabwe (CCC) addressed the issue in an interview with hstv. He urged Holy Ten to live up to his name and maintain a sense of integrity, suggesting that the artist’s actions should reflect the principles he espouses. The CCC President emphasized that artists, due to their influence, have a responsibility to uphold values that resonate with the broader society.

The CCC President further expressed his belief that Holy Ten’s recent actions may not necessarily have a significant impact on the younger generation. He stated that Holy Ten does not hold a leadership position among the youth and that the youth are discerning enough to form their own opinions on political matters.

The debate surrounding Holy Ten’s political endorsement highlights the complexity of artists engaging with political themes and aligning with political figures. While artists have the right to express their opinions, the potential influence they hold over their audience raises questions about the responsibility they carry and the potential consequences of their actions.

As Zimbabwe’s elections draw near, the controversy surrounding Holy Ten’s endorsement serves as a reminder of the influence that artists wield and the broader societal discussions that their actions can trigger. The incident also underscores the ongoing dialogue about the relationship between art, politics, and the public sphere
