Speaking to HMetro, musician Hosiah Chipanga confirmed that he is running for the Dangamvura-Chikanga parliamentary seat.
Chipanga is running his campaign under the theme: “Ndauya kuzopedza hurombo kwete kupedza varombo vacho. He will be contesting with businessman Esau Mupfumi and Prosper Mutseyami among other candidates. He said he has been standing on the sidelines for too long. Said Chipanga:
Nguva yareba ndiri mumaterrace ndichingoona bhora apa bhora racho richiitwa zvimwe zvandaiona kuti zvinofanira kuitwa neimwe nzira so I want to get into the pitch and play with them (policy makers). I tried to contribute through music in making a change for our country but the music got suppressed along the way. The only other solution left for me is to speak to those in power directly and it will be done through my participation in parliament. My music has been topical but policy makers have paid a deaf ear over the advice in the music; they even shut me out by snubbing my music on radio.
