A musician is getting roasted online for publicly praying for politicians. Suluman Chimbetu shared a video showing him kneeling beside a tree to offer prayers for Zimbabwe's First Family. He specifically mentioned President Emmerson Mnangagwa and First Lady Auxillia Mnangagwa, along with their children and grandchildren. Chimbetu asked for a long life for the President, describing him as divinely chosen.
The clip referenced a sermon by preacher Emmanuel Makandiwa encouraging prayers for leaders. Social media reactions were intensely critical, with many users calling the act a blatant attention stunt. Commenters suggested Chimbetu hoped to catch the eye of businessman Wicknell Chivayo, known for gifting cars to celebrities who offer public praise.
Critics highlighted a perceived trend of people recording flattering messages targeting Chivayo. They argue these posts aim to receive cars, cash, or other substantial rewards. The backlash reflects growing scrutiny over the motives behind very public displays of political or financial allegiance.
