“I did a song for him titled ‘Mugabe’ five years ago and told myself that I will never perform it anywhere else except in Zimbabwe. “Since it’s release this is the first time that I am going to perform it. The song is about how eager I am to meet the President Mugabe of Zimbabwe.
I cannot wait for Thursday (today) so that I will perform this song in view of a wonderful nation-Zimbabwe, “he said. Blakk Rasta also disclosed to the Herald Newspaper that, he did the song also because President Mugabe is actually a relative of Ghana since the late first lady Amai Sally Mugabe was from Ghana.
“If you come to Ghana, President Mugabe is a household name, we see him as one of us, as our uncle since he was once married to out sister and mother Sally Mugabe.
After all he is my hero and Africa’s hero. Look at history, what he has done for Zimbabwe and Africa at large, who will not want to sing a song for such a gallant son of Africa, he is my president.”he said
