Source: Mapfumo: I Fought In The War But Zim Govt Dishes A Farm To A Jamaican Musician | ZimEye
By Simba Chikanza| Chimurenga musician, Thomas Mapfumo yesterday revealed of his frustration on how the ZANU PF government has ignored his role as a freedom fighter and rushed to give a farm to a foreigner, a Jamaican musician.
Mapfumo is not alone in this treatment and the late Cde Chinx Chingaira, another musician was also neglected.
During the liberation struggle, Mapfumo was imprisoned by the Ian Smith government for his role of fighting and supporting the war against the white regime. But 38 years later, Mapfumo has been given nothing and ZANU PF says he is not a war veteran simply because he did not hold guns.
