Musician Bryan Mteki who has thrown his hat into the
presidential ring says he is not joking.
The 43-year-old said
the people convinced him to go for the Presidency.
“I did not impose myself on people, but it is the people
that want me and I have overwhelming support all over Zimbabwe. I successfully
filed my nomination papers that only should tell you that I have support.
“People might think I am joking, but this job is too big
for someone to joke around with it. I was supposed to be preparing for a tour
for my album due in this August, which I recorded with Koffi Olomide and Philip
Chiyangwa – although I do not see myself dancing on the stage when I become
President.
“Most people think I am doing this because I was bought by
some political parties to divide the vote, but the truth is I am being driven
by the love of my country,” he says.
Mteki told The Sunday Mail that President should be elected based on the
feasibility and viability of ideas and proposed policies – not appearance.
“What is wrong with the way I look?” he asks back with a
look of surprise. It is the ideas, the proposed policies that matter.
“I want Zimbabweans to have a better life, and it is all
that matters.”
