Petersen Zagaze for ‘President’

Never far from controversy, Petersen Zagaze (Mukubesa Mundia), has released a new political song titled ‘Zaga for President’, in which he talks about forming a political party called Bikini Party, and standing in this year’s elections.
In the song, which is already receiving airplay on local radio stations, Petersen introduces his manifesto and urges people to vote for him because he is going to change a lot of things in the country, including the economy.
Constructing supermarkets like Shoprite in police camps, and giving formal employment to his supporters are part of his manifesto in the song.
Although the song is easy, slow and entertaining, it has some controversial messages about Zambian politics, which is typical of Petersen.
Petersen, who has five albums to his name – King Solomon, Job 13:13, Stoga Compilation, Bobojani and Munyaule – has never shied away from controversy, starting with his first hit song Munyaule.
There is also Amakwebo Mu Church, in which he talks about attending church after a longtime only to find that it has become a marketplace; dealing in all sorts of things including cars, houses, and music albums. He then asks the messiah to come back and whip the church merchandisers.
Then in Job 13: 13, he criticises parliamentarians for debating his songs ‘as if there is nothing better to do.’
Other songs by Petersen are Sinifuna Nakulanga, Kumanda kuli Boring, Bvuto La Fwaka, Letter to My President, Chibelo ni Capital, Oxygen, Chitemene, Nilabeko, Sefula Boy, Stoga, Oh No, ma Offals, Promise, Musiye Atoping’e and Nkani Yakang’ono.
