AWARD-WINING journalist, Hopewell Chin’ono has taken to music to amplify his voice on government corruption which he says has impoverished citizens and exposed many to COVID-19.
Chin’ono, one of the prominent critics of corruption and human rights abuses, asserts that the vices are flourishing under President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s administration.
On Sunday, a few days, after his release from remand prison for allegedly communicating falsehoods, the scribe took to micro blogging site Twitter to release an amateur video of a song he titled Dem Loot. The song denounces corruption at higher levels of government.
Dem Loot has taken Zimbabwe’s digital space by storm with several versions of the song under the banner #dem loot challenge now released.
Within 24 hours of its release, the song reached a historic 112 000 views on Twitter and has been shared globally.
