United Kingdom-based cleric and musician Cliff Shanganya has dropped a single track Mwari WeZimbabwe ahead of the forthcoming 2023 elections.
The husky-voiced musician known for singing worship songs and traditional hymns told Standard Style that the song is a plea to God to intervene in the country’s economic woes affecting the populace.
“This is a prayer for Zimbabwe, we want the economic, social and political situation to change for the better,” Shanganya said.
“Now that we prepare for general elections we need to commit everything to God, let us claim that the same God of love, peace and joy as God of the people of Zimbabwe also, not only a God of those countries that are in peace and have stability.
“All we need is God’s intervention. God must chose leadership for us. Yes we know that God does not operate in a vacuum, he uses us to elect our own leadership. We are praying that God give us , leadership with people at heart, leadership who are born again, repentant and caring.
“People of Zimbabwe have suffered from endless oppression and exploitation and this should come to an end in the name of the God of Zimbabwe.”
