Malaba, a journalist, said Winky D\u2019s Ibotsho<\/b> portrays Zimbabwe as a long-decayed society in which the residents naively hope things will miraculously change for the better. Pindula News presents Malaba\u2019s analysis of Winky D\u2019s project:<\/p>\n

#TheGafa<\/p>\n

Winky D\u2019s lyrical mastery is the stuff of legend. But in his new anthemic hit, Ibotso, the Gafa reminds us why his amazing artistry is without peer. Winky D is the incorruptible voice of a shattered generation: poverty-stricken citizens who have no jobs, no dignity, no hope.<\/p>\n

Zimbabwe is a crime scene. Corruption-induced poverty has unleashed devastating poverty on ghetto youths. Hunger has ensnared naive girls into a life of debauchery. There are artistes who conveniently choose to ignore these stark realities. Winky D has set himself apart.<\/p>\n

In Ibotso, he lays bare the ugly underbelly of a long-decayed society which foolishly hides beneath a threadbare cloak of self-denial, in the forlorn hope of swiftly waking up from a prolonged nightmare. Where delusion meets deceit, victims abound.<\/p>\n

The Gafa chants: \u201cVanotora zvevapfupi nekureba\u201d. What comes next is epic. Holy 10, his eager apprentice, then intones: \u201cSekutamba sekuseka\u201d. From that point on, the flow is infectious, irresistible, delectable.<\/p>\n

Winky D is fully alive to the dangers of singing truth to power. Deploying idiom, he pleads: \u201cI\u2019m only a singer. I wield neither spear nor sword; please spare my life.\u201d Echoes of George Orwell: \u201cIn a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winky D is among a few Zimbabwean artistes who have openly, through their projects, condemned maladministration and the shrinking democratic space <\/b>in the country.<\/p>\n
