Yesteryear Zimdancehall hitmaker Ricky Fire has dumped the Citizens Coalition for Change (CCC) and embraced ZANU PF after meeting the Mnangagwa Family.
Last year, Ricky Fire made waves in the run-up to the parliamentary by-election after boldly declaring his support for Zimbabwe’s main opposition party, CCC.
He performed at most of the party’s rallies in cities like Harare, Mutare and Bulawayo. The stylish chanter would don different types of yellow costumes, the colours synonymous with CCC, as he rocked the party’s supporters with old hits like “Zvakandimomotera.”
So staunch was Ricky Fire that he even received threats from shadowy individuals on social media.
A year after the by-elections, Ricky Fire has now dumped the opposition party and thrown his support for ZANU PF.
Yesterday, Ricky Fire was one of the artists who had a meeting with President Mnangagwa’s sons Emmerson Jr, Sean and Collins at the ZANU PF Headquarters.
