Mangwana: "We Wish To Advise Mapfumo That He's Nothing To Fear In Zimbabwe"

The permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Information, Publicity and Broadcasting Services, Nick Mangwana has said self-exiled Chimurenga musician Thomas Mukanya Mapfumo is free to come to Zimbabwe.

Mapfumo had said he won’t come to Zimbabwe to attend the funeral of his brother and band percussionist, Lancelot Mapfumo who died last month saying he is afraid that the government would harm him.

Mangwana however, said assured Mapfumo that his security is guaranteed. Said Mangwana in a Twitter post seen by Pindula News:

We wish to express our sincere condolences to Mr Thomas Mapfumo over the sad loss of his younger brother, Lancelot (MHSRIP). We wish to advise Mr Mapfumo that he has nothing to fear in Zimbabwe. The security of his person is as assured as the rest of us.

Mapfumo, a staunch government critic, left the country in 2001 following persecution by the Robert Mugabe-led regime.

He was critical of the country’s governance system, a theme inherent in his songs. Before independence, Mukanya was jailed by the Smith regime for his strong stance against human rights abuses.

In 2008, Mapfumo failed to attend his mother’s funeral, burial or memorial service also citing the possibility that authorities would harass him, or worse.

Mapfumo, who openly supports opposition Citizens Coalition for Change leader Nelson Chamisa and his party, was last home in April 2018 where he staged some homecoming gigs. He was not harassed.

He also took the time to visit the tombs of his late mother and those of relatives who died during his long absence.

They will not kill you. They do not kill people the way you think. You are a public figure, your security is their concern, Clandestine security measures are in place to avoid embarrassing mistakes like what recently happened to Mr Musebenzi

Our most at successful musicians like the late Oliver Mutukudzi and Thomas Mapfumo have known life and how to live it to the full by following their consciences. There is no need for someone to give advice such people. Our modern, upcoming young and promising musicians are dying prematurely. These are the musicians who should be given advice. Please help them to achieve a life where they can be celebrated and appreciated in their presence.

Musician Thomas Mapfumo is one of the citizens who has stood with the people and seems likely to die still on the side of the people. Before Independance, he clashed with Ian Douglas Smith because of Mapfumo's songs in which he always praised liberation war fighters. After independence, he was desappointed
