Mark Okraku Mantey shares how use of King Paluta's 'sisifia' contributed to NPP's 2024 defeat
Former Deputy Minister of Tourism, Arts and Culture, Mark Okraku Mantey, has alluded that the lack of consultation in managing the 2024 campaign of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) may have contributed to the party's defeat. According to Okraku Mantey, the party failed to do due diligence and ended up using a profane song as part of their campaign, which did not augur well for the brand of the NPP's flagbearer, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia. "Do you know that the song we were playing,'sisifia', is profane? It is profane. This party has people like me, George Quaye, those of us in the music industry. Take me as an example; nobody will consult you on music. Then we take a profane song for someone like Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, look at his brand, then we as a party will ask Dr. Bawumia to dance to it..." he stated in an interview on Peace FM. "Makoma" by award-winning musician King Paluta was a key feature of the NPP's campaign ahead of the December 7, 2024, elections.

Songs that oiled Zim’s independence
As Zimbabwe approaches its 45th Independence Day on April 18, we reflect on a journey steeped in struggle and sacrifice. This hard-won freedom was not a gift; it was forged in the fires of conflict, where countless brave souls laid down their lives, while others emerged forever altered, bearing the physical and emotional scars of war. Amid the turmoil, music emerged as a lifeline—an essential force that fuelled the liberation struggle. It was more than mere entertainment; it became a rallying cry for cultural identity and resistance against colonial oppression. Traditional songs and vibrant rhythms united Zimbabweans, instilling a profound sense of pride and purpose as they fought for their land and rights. These powerful anthems served multiple roles: they mobilised support for the liberation movement, conveyed messages of hope, and acted as potent reminders of the fight for independence.
