Mliswa Fires Shots At Fantan
Outspoken legislator Themba Mliswa has responded to claims that Winky D is causing unnecessary chaos with his latest album Eureka Eureka which some deemed political.
Mliswa was responding to the deputy minister of youth Tino Machakaire who recently spoke on Winky D saying he should have used the right channels to air his grievances instead of causing unnecessary chaos in the country.
Defending Winky D, said Mliswa; The truth of the matter is that Winky D never insulted, attacked, or cursed anyone. He has created no chaos. 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.
There is no need for him to approach a political party for private intercourse about those issues, so as not to sing about them. He is an artist. Moda ayimbe zvemadrugs nerudo zvega here? This is a form of fascist censorship you are now advancing.
His way of addressing and raising them, through music, is adequate and correct all the way. 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.
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.
He went on to praise Winky D for being patriotic saying; It’s because there are limited minds who think gulping down everything blindly is the correct form of patriotism. 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.
Who doesn’t know that the thematic content on Eureka Eureka is the same since way back for Winky D? It’s nothing new. He has produced many songs before with similar content. Was he being paid all that time?
