Zimbabwe's Winky D Becomes Political Hot Potato

Gift Ostallos Siziba, a prominent political figure, declared his solidarity with the artist Winky D, tweeting, "Winky is us, we're Winky Ds." His statement sparked debate on social media, with opposition growing from various quarters.

Witness Dube criticized the opposition's involvement, accusing them of politicizing the artist's work. "You opposition people are selfish. You've influenced his career at the expense of his art. Does every part of Zimbabwe have to fit into political narratives?"

In response, Siziba fired back, calling Dube a "fool" and urging him to handle his "silk-swaddled, tittering artists."

Another social media user expressed dissatisfaction with Winky D, stating: "I don't like Zanu PF, but Winky D is overrated. Weduu weee ummm."

This comment adds to the heated discourse surrounding the artist's role and influence in Zimbabwe's political and cultural spaces.
