Mahere Says Gifting Cars To Music Legends Is A "Slap In The Face"

Mahere Says Gifting Cars To Music Legends Is A "Slap In The Face"

Outspoken former Mt Pleasant MP, Fadzayi Mahere, has criticized the act of gifting cars to music artists, calling it an insult.

She argued that in a properly functioning economy, these artists should be able to afford top-of-the-range vehicles on their own, rather than relying on such gestures of generosity.

Mahere’s comments follow Wicknell Chivayo’s recent gifts of Toyota Fortuners to iconic musicians Mai Charamba, Leonard Zhakata, and Mechanic Manyeruke on Monday.

In a post on X, Mahere opined that if Zimbabwe had a thriving economy, artists would be able to walk into a dealership and purchase luxury cars at their discretion.

She said a Toyota Fortuner is a common vehicle—one that even ordinary citizens might drive—and should not be considered an appropriate gift for the country’s most prominent celebrities. Said Mahere:

Latest Samsung A06 128GB, 4GB now available: $105

The larger point is that the economy is so bad that most of our iconic artists and celebrities are reduced to basket cases who are unable to make enough money out of music that they have to take petty donations.

If Zimbabwe had an economy that worked, an artist would make more than enough not just to survive but also to thrive.

They would stroll into a dealership at leisure and pick a top of the range vehicle many times over.

With respect, a Fortuner is not the car we expect our biggest celebrities to be driving. It is an ordinary vehicle that common citizens like you or I can maybe drive.

Just look at South African artists in the league of ours and ask yourself whether they’d be seen driving a Fortuner, let alone accepting a donation of one?

This moment tells an important story about the state of Zimbabwe’s economy and the health of the arts industry. Both are comatose as a consequence of bad governance.

For heaven’s sake, put some respect on their art!

Mahere said the ruling elite wants to keep Zimbabweans in a state of perpetual poverty, ensuring that people remain dependent on them for handouts and unable to achieve true financial independence. She said:

We can all see what’s happening here. “They” want everyone to be poor so that “they” bail everyone out and ensure everyone is beholden to them for these handouts. It’s not right.

Some of these names have been at the core of the culture for more than a generation. Their hits are embedded in our lives. We know the words. We love their music. And we love them.

Why should they be disrespected like this? Where is the dignity in being an artist if that is what one is eventually reduced to?

Why must an artist be at the mercy of politicians in order to survive? What if they want to be apolitical?

What if they want to sing about a societal issue that may offend the politicians? Will they have the freedom to do so?

What impact does this economic destruction have on artistic freedom which is constitutionally protected?

Why can’t an artist thrive on their art?

I understand where she is coming from and maybe agree with her on most points but I want to know exactly what they want to do for the artists which will be different from Zanu PF. An action plan. A viable plan. A plan with accountability. That is what I want to see from opposition otherwise you are just the same ne Zanu PF except makatangirwa

Optimus did you read what that lady was saying or the example she has given. I think for the first time to hear someone talking about how the economy is not working in ZIMBABWE. Especially someone in Zanu. She's saying vaimbi vemuZim instead of hand out kubva kune Mukuru uyu Chivayo. Dai varikutawo zvirikuita vaimbi vedzimwe nyika. They are in there music world. Eg SA Nigeria Ghana and many other singers in Africa. Zvakafanana kuti iye zvino tinoona Nollywood which is from Nigeria and Asian countries. WHY IS IT WE DONT HAVE SUCH ARTISTS IN ZIMBABWE. SHE MIGHT NOT HAVE THE ANSWER BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS CONTROLLED BY PEOPLE WHO DONT EVEN A HEART OF THEIR COUNTRY. IN ZIMBABWE WE NOW HAVE BILLIONAIRES. THE ONE ON TOP OBVIOUSLY MUKURU WENYIKA. THEY ARE JUST TAKING AND TAKING. NOW MAKUNZI YOU NEED TO REGISTER YOUR BOREHOLES. WHYYYYY????

The problem with Mahere is that criticising Chivhayo is the only way she can stay relevant on social media. Even President Chamisa is not saying anything negative about these gifts in fact he's not saying anything at all. The biggest problem is that many in the opposition have become so fixated on Zanu Pf to an extent that they see it even in the shadows. A gift is a gift, regardless of who is giving, who is receiving or what. And being given a gift doesn't necessarily mean that you are poor.

Dear Fadzie baby if someone receives a gift does not mean they are relying on gestures of generosity as you say ,some can afford to buy their own cars.JP has got a fleet, Cheso has got a fleet ,Fantan has got a fleet of cars just to name a few so I don't think it's right to criticize anyone for receiving a gift . Please look close to you, some citizens are donating money to buy a car for ***** do you also call that relying on gestures of generosity or a gift

Tuku bought his own Land Rover Discovery, with a personalised number plate. Inini I have my own Prado that I bought with my own money. Chivhayo is bribing singers, footballers with stolen money, some of which was meant for the Nation's Solar project.

She has no concept on the value of money or what people are going through if she thinks Fortuner is a normal car, 1st world countries even SA the working and middle class will be driving small cars available on credit or using public transport, even the rich, she has lived a very privileged life.
Vic Venom · 2 months ago
Fadzi is busy peddling dangerous half-truths about the nature of the music industry..Artists world over are synonymous for being broke... Record labels literally suck artists dry and leave them with mere pittance...Does Fadzi even know how record deals work or she is just one of those fooled by the lies told by the media....Does Fadzi even know the state of the music industry in South Africa??....Most of those artists have nothing to their names and are living a fake life endorsed by the labels... Rant over sanity restored

get away Mahere. you are a failed politician. learn to appreciate what Chivhayo is doing , you failed to even donate sn exercise book to the orphans which cost us$0.20 whilst you were in parliament now you are quick to condemn a good cause you are very evil. give prase where it's due and stop politicizing anything not alined to your defuct party of failures.

If Chivayo was kind enough in this straggling economy,why is he not donating an exercise book to those orphans . Given a situation ,only one Fortuner divided by $0.2c as I said how many exercise books.

Well she's right, in a firing economy this wouldn't be necessary at all but in such a struggling economy being given cars is like winning a jackpot 😂😂. That is how they silence you or buy your loyalty, that the only way to succeed is aligning yourself with them, thereby sustaining the system of patronage. So that's why we say Zanu will not never be able to bring economic emancipation for everyone because that will break the system and threaten their hold on power, having a very large pool of poor citizens is the only way to sustain their illegal hold on power either by bribing them or threatening to cut off their meagre support.
