Oliver Mtukudzi Peace for Africa Message
Over the last few days I have watched with horror on the news as xenophobic violence broke out in South Africa. African turns on African as we forget the long journey we have travelled together against similar injustice and persecution from others who sought to subjugate us perpetually.
It is unthinkable that in this day and age, when Africa stands on the cusp of the long awaited realization of its greatness, that we can do this sort of thing to one another.
My heart and prayers go out to the people who have been affected, whatever country they are from.
The borders we see today were drawn for us by others. I am urging all South Africans to stand up and say no to the hate of other Africans, no to violence and no murder.
In the same breath I am calling the leaders of Africa to speak out strongly against this madness.
We have always stood together as Africa, from the pre-independence days of our nations when we supported freedom fighters in their cause to more recently when we came together to fight Ebola.
Xenophobia is a scourge that we must get rid of once and for all. It must not be given a chance to manifest ever again. In this light it is not enough to just condemn it, we need to map out a long term plan as a continent to make sure that what we are seeing in South Africa today, never happens again – anywhere in Africa.

  1. Nonsense, absolute bull …. where is your statement about Gukurahundi Mnu???
    And while you now pontificate about SA it is SA which has made you anything musically in international terms, otherwise u’d still be today stuck in this musical village called zimbabwe ‘coughing’ nothing and pretending to be a possessed musician.
    Nonsense!!

  4. The abduction and probably demise of Itayi Dzamara pales these xenophobic attacks into insignificance. A bush crush which kills 100 people I don’t know will never compare with the death of my child.Charity begins at home. Why are we being “empathically” stingy when it comes to Itai but magnanimous when it comes to fellow Africans(probably drug lords) attacked in Hillbrow. Itai was fighting to bring sanity to our country and he deserves not only our sympathy but our anger directed to whoever abducted him….We condemn Zuma for failing to control his unruly citizens but we are mum on day light abductions like Itayi ‘s.

  5. Dont think Tuku is worried about lives affected by Xenophobia but truly his problem lies on cashing in on Johannesburg music shows which he occasionally have, Dont be a coward Oliver say something about chaos at home first @ least once

  21. When Itai Dzamara was abducted you did not say anything and have not said anything up to now, stupid coward. Used to respect you a lot but not anymore. You forget to comment on the atrocities perpetrated by ZANU Pf and Mugabe at home only to open your silly mouth because you want international relevance. Start at home Tuku.
