[ashleyjnevado]

22 years later we are still listening to his voice... Long Live the king of dendera

[paurosi]

Never will we have a fine musician like this one in a long time to come in Zimbabwe. I just loved the guy and his music.

[andrewthabanisigayojr]

This guy made me listen to Shona music even though i don't understand words. The guitar and the voice is a bomb

[thizaman]

Chopper was one of a kind, he would sing a politically charged song and one wouldn’t even notice, miss this brother. Irreplaceable RIP Simon Chimbetu 🙏🕊🕊🕊🕊

[mosaic_fit]

When you sing with people at heart, your music stands the test of time - it carries relevance into all epochs. It applies in today's Zimbabwe in which Mnangagwa and his aides are in a feast where dissenting voices are excluded from mabiko (feast). Chimbetu is talking about those excluded masses that are denied a share in food aid, job opportunities and so many necessities in favour of card holding members of the ZANU PF party.

Families of those who lost lives fighting for freedom have been long forgotten. The deceased hero is insulted by being deprived of recognition and only mentioned at rallies to amass votes.

[AttitudeisAltitude-csys]

What a gem. The golden era of Zim music. You could tell that this is Chopper, this is Dembo, Chibadura, Zhakata, Chimombe, Madzibaba Zacharia or System. Not now when everybody tries to copy one person and don't even acknowledge or show appreciation to the person.

[kpaxchocho]

Kwedu 4 of 5 of ana babamunini vakaenda kuhondo, havana kudzoka. Nanhasi tichiri takamirira kuti government itiudze kuti chii chakaitika kuvakomana. Nyaya iyi yakakonzera depression kumhuri yese. In 1984 my grandfather took his own life after vatengesa 70% yehupfumi hwako vachisvaga vakomana. We never received any help from Mugabe even though aitoziva family yedu before independence. Taiva nePrazi kuMusengezi before and after independence. It was 1 the things zvakatengeswa kuti tiwane mari yeku mbeya Moza yese

[thizaman]

Wherever you are from Eastern or Western region this one was one of the best from a top musician Chopper RIP
