ZIMBABWE’S Minister of information and publicity Webster Shamu was yesterday humiliated by hundreds of music revellers at the Unity Gala held in Gokwe. That was after he made futile attempts to get them to chant Zanu PF-centric political slogans that would also denounce the MDC-T party.
The Unity Gala graced by several musicians including Sulumani Chimbetu, and Peter Moyo, was a celebration of the 1987 Unity Accord and stretched from Friday night up to the late hours of Sunday afternoon.
The fans booed the Zanu PF political commissar together with his entourage, and went to the point of switching off lights several times, after the ZANU PF party group arrived on the stage chanting their party slogans, much to the displeasure of music lovers.
Shamu had denounced the MDC-T party at the gala ironically set aside to celebrate the unity of Zimbabweans regardless of political affiliation, the weekly Standard reports.
Only a few revellers that were near the stage exuberantly pumped their fists into the air while others, in open defiance, raised open palms in a gesture of their support for the MDC-T, according to the paper’s reporters Blessed Mhlanga and Tawanda Marwizi.
In order to reduce the bitter embarassment, Shamu then attempted a few slogans in support of Dynamos.
“Pamberi neDembare, neDembare yedu,” said Shamu as he attempted to calm away the jeers from fans.
In a face-saving attempt to avoid the brunt of the shame on the Information Minister, the event organiser Victor Mutambudzi blamed the switching off of lights on what he termed ‘a minor fault caused by lightning’. He also denied that the event was turned into a Zanu PF rally saying the people heartily welcomed all the officials in attendance of the event. (The Standard / Additional reporting ZimEye)

hahahahahahahahahaha
wakanzwa butter, uchinyararwo kani naiwe ndlovu, kwese kwese zanu, yakakubatisa panyo pako pakawora.
hey , it was improper for the crowd to boo Shamu. Remember they call it unity day, the unity between ZANU and PF ZAPU. So the dog had all the reason to chant his part slogan.It was unfortunate he didnt know the majority of revellers were not ZANU PF supporters! So those who say ZANU PF is popular could be wrong; opinion polls are misleading, sometimes!
If our minister is normal then it is quite natural he knows his flaws just like journalists who pleases their masters with all bootlicking writings.Unity in the true sense of the word was indeed provoked as the minister was alianating people on polical affiliations.U are a politician but dnt preach it where its not necessary.Galaz are not platforms for rallies.Iam ZANU PF bt cde you harnessed it on the wrong end.
Zanupf yawora. ..

Deleted word is p.a.m.h.a.t.a. Its amazing on how the biased editor quickly deletes certain words l usually find myself writing through anger, yet remains quite when my adversaries write junk about me.

A couple of ways ago a*se trader kasukuwere was on record as saying that he would arrest those zanu pf that were acting as fronts for whites. Please scratch beneath the surface of Rhodesian Broadcaster Webster Shamu`s business interests…..
What unity was this? No wonder the confusion. People should celebrate true things not imaginations Kambe ibhonyeponye yiUnity?
Shamu as a broadcaster you were much cleverer but ever since you went into full time politics you have become a leading fool. De mbare or Dynamos football club is not a political enterprise. Makuda kuti urayiira bhora manje. Chese chakabatwa neZanu chakasara chaora. Please keep your faith to kunonga.
pliz minister dont politicize dynamos.soccer and politics dont mix..football has ethics if u hv no confidence wth yo party dont turn to dembare 4 salvation.
pliz minister dont politicize dynamos.soccer and politics dont mix..football has ethics if u hv no confidence wth yo party dont turn to dembare 4 salvation.zimbos are not gullible to cheap politics.come election u wil learn a lesson.
This is master piece of reporting, that serves Shamu right. At least that is a clear test and indication of more to come. Zpf is going to be thoroughly beaten by MDC-T.
Bandit miki word from pisi, zbc, webster shamu or the recent opinion poll new york agency does not reflect the true wishes of zimbabweans. The landslide you dream of is a hallucination common to failures like yourself bandit.
Poor Shamu its an acid test uchinyanya vanhu vanenge kugala havana kuuya nekuda zpf but kupemberera unity gala kunyangwe muchiita zvechiparty but remember zvichapera manjeso
This is fake reporting Mr Editor zanupf will win in march 2013 by a landslide. Word from PISI and my undercover brothers in zanupf is that my beloved is poised for a whitewash. The thigh trader is now busy with his bedroom politics knowing his fate in the forth comming polls.
pliz tell me if galas are not meant to unite Zimbabweans regardless of their political affis.are there no other slogans?chero zvekuti dembare akahwa nani kuti tiri madembare.i remember muAscot dz gala dzimwe dzakambodaro dzikazoti pamberi naMacheso dzanyadziswa.even kuti pamberi namacheso was even more xplosive coz not only cheso’s supts were in attendance.itii Haleluya madhara
Of all stupid zanu pf ministers webster shamu ranks much higher than jonathan moyo. The movement for democratic change was never created at galas a Minister of Information should know this. Zanu are running sacred!!
