Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Norton legislator, Temba Mliswa (Independent) has criticised Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation Deputy Minister, Tinoda Machakaire for claiming that Winky D\u2019s latest album, Eureka, is causing \u201cchaos\u201d in the country.<\/p>\n

Machakaire said the Zimdancehall chanter should desist from attacking the government and instead, use the right structures to air his grievances.<\/p>\n

According to journalist Brezhnev Malaba, one of Winky D\u2019s tracks on the album \u201cIbotso\u201d portrays Zimbabwe as a crime scene, a long-decayed society in which the residents naively hope things will miraculously change for the better.<\/p>\n

Responding to Machakaire\u2019s utterances, Mliswa said there is nothing wrong with Winky D bringing up pertinent issues which are plaguing this country. He said:<\/p>\n

The truth of the matter is that Winky D never insulted, attacked, or cursed anyone. He has created no chaos.<\/p>\n

He simply brought up pertinent issues which are plaguing this country as everyone knows. His model and platforms are very much on point as a musician.<\/p>\n

There is no need for him to approach a political party for private intercourse about those issues, so as not to sing about them.<\/p>\n

He is an artist. Moda ayimbe zvemadrugs nerudo zvega here? This is a form of fascist censorship you are now advancing.<\/p>\n

His way of addressing and raising them, through music, is adequate and correct all the way.<\/p>\n

Those singers, activists and politicians who have rushed to report incorrectly about him are the most dangerous people because they exhibit a gross lack of mental acumen.<\/p>\n

Instead of interrogating issues candidly and analytically they see issues in a binary manner where critical analysis or simply stating the truth is an insult.<\/p>\n

Mliswa stated that Winky D is more patriotic than the likes of DJ Fantan who are \u201cbootlicking\u201d ZANU PF. He said:<\/p>\n

It\u2019s because there are limited minds who think gulping down everything blindly is the correct form of patriotism.<\/p>\n

Winky D is more patriotic than all those other DJs and singers bootlicking the party by foolishly insinuating the involvement of foreign embassies on a music project.<\/p>\n

Who doesn\u2019t know that the thematic content on Eureka Eureka is the same since way back for Winky D?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s nothing new. He has produced many songs before with similar content. Was he being paid all that time?<\/p>\n
