Thomas Mapfumo has played down his dispute with nephew Kurai Makore, saying it is not a family feud but a “storm in a teacup”. “He is my son and I will deal with him,” Mapfumo says, while urging “outsiders” not to interfere. #ThomasMapfumo #KuraiMakore #Zimbabwe

#PauseForThought #SoulShackRadio I have deliberately taken my time before commenting on Thomas Tafirenyika Muchadura Mukanya Mapfumo's Thomas Mapfumo decision to accept the performance offer made by Wicknell Chivhayo. Emotions have been running high, but sometimes it is better to let the dust settle before offering an opinion. Many people have every right to feel disappointed. Mukanya has spent decades speaking truth to power, giving a voice to the ordinary Zimbabwean and refusing offers that he believed compromised his principles. That legacy cannot simply be erased. But I also think we should look at this from another angle. Thomas Mapfumo is not accepting a handout. He is not receiving charity. He is being paid for doing what he has done for more than half a century , performing his music. There is a difference. For decades, Mukanya gave Zimbabwe a soundtrack that defined generations. His music inspired, challenged, comforted and united millions. If someone now believes that contribution is worth paying US$1 million for, why should he apologise for earning it? Some will say he has changed. I would ask... At what point do we allow a man to stop fighting and simply enjoy the fruits of his life's work? He has already made his position known over many decades. History has already recorded where he stood. His record speaks for itself. There is little left for him to prove. Not long ago, after his rural home was destroyed by fire, a fundraising appeal reportedly struggled to raise even a fraction of its modest target. That should give us all pause. It is easy to tell a legend to remain uncompromising. It is much harder to support that legend when he needs us. If this performance fee allows Mukanya to enjoy his later years in comfort, surrounded by family, with the dignity he has earned through his own talent, then I genuinely wish him well. Perhaps this chapter may also open the door to something many Zimbabweans, regardless of political persuasion, have quietly wished to see for years , Thomas Mapfumo spending more time back in the country that gave birth to both the man and the music. There is something deeply special about a legend coming home. Every great story deserves a peaceful final chapter, and there is no place like home. Whether you agree with his decision or not, one thing remains unchanged... Thomas Mapfumo's contribution to Zimbabwean music, our liberation story and our national identity was secured long before this performance offer arrived. A paid performance cannot erase a lifetime of conviction. I wish Dr. Thomas Mapfumo safe travels, successful performances and, above all, peace and happiness in the years ahead. Legends deserve their flowers while they are still here.💐

The legendary singer, Thomas Mapfumo suffered a stroke, his family has told ZimEye, revealing that this was after the 2 year ordeal of being subjected to Wicknell Chivayo statements coercing him to take the convicted fraudster’s money. Dr Mapfumo spent over 25 months contacting ZimEye for assistance to stop Chivayo from publishing statements with his name, a development that has seen the controversial Mnangagwa hedge-fund-holder obtaining publishing assistance from a UK based journalist Lance Guma. The riveting events are captured in the following footage- On video, Wicknell Chivayo thanks Lance Guma, “thank you for being a wonderful friend!” before MP Job Sikhala’s career is destroyed (as he adopts a fake Mandela accent influenced) by Guma’s other friend Hopewell Chin’ono, at a Mapfumo show, as Guma drives Chin’ono around UK, and Blessed Geza’s 100 activists are jailed after Chin’ono falsified that Geza-soldiers have deserted army, stolen guns, and Chris Mutsvangwa has fled to Dubai. Later, Geza returns to Zimbabwe in a coffin as his activists remain incarcerated. In the period, legendary singer spends over 25 months telephoning Simba Chikanza for help to stop Chivayo (who’s a convicted fraudster) to stop pestering him so that he accepts Chivayo’s monetary gifts. For over 2 years, Mapfumo repeatedly pleads with Chivayo and his ZANU PF party to stop publishing his name over Chivayo’s money offers because as he says, is causing stress and distress to him; because all he wants are his 5 cars back, the vehicles which were seized by the ZANU PF run police, illegally and unlawfully about 30 years ago. He says he is traumatised by statements that suggesting a possibility of the hard working artist touching money handed by a convicted fraudster.Famous Quotations the betrayalLocal News Assisted by Lance Guma, Hopewell Chin’ono loads more statements confusing Sikhala until the sharp MP ends up walking out of prison talking like a Nelson Mandela incarnate. His career and public respect soddenly ends after recording statements influenced by Chin’ono. Meanwhile, Wicknell Chivayo continues repeating his rambling and at one time he is supported by Chin’ono to harass both Mapfumo and Chikanza (Mapfumo’s own mouthpiece to stop Chivayo’s statements). Later, Thomas Mapfumo suffers a stroke, as a result of Chivayo’s statements. His family tell Simba Chikanza “mdara is not well, he suffered a stroke.” His current UK manager Tau Cheteni also weighs in his concerns saying, “mdara is not well after the stroke,” urging that people must stop harassing him. But in July, a journalist (Lance Guma) betrays trust and goes ahead to republish more of Chivayo’s statements. In his now vulnerable situation, the 81 years old is forced to record a video supporting Lance Guma’s algorithms that praise Chivayo as a businessman when in reality he is a convicted fraudster and a person of interest in multiple jurisdictions over money laundering allegations.Executive Branch 2 years after Mapfumo spent 25 months complaining that he doesn’t want Chivayo’s money and he does not want his name published alongside Chivayo’s statements, Lance Guma publishes that Chivayo who’s a convicted fraudster, is a “businessman.” Guma also publishes a statement purported to be Mapfumo’s contradicting the elderly singer’s position on accepting gifts. Guma has spent the last week, visually ‘drifting’ Mapfumo’s wishes from a function singing fee, to a straight cut “gift.”African political analysis Lance Guma was approached for a comment.
