has penned a song following an attack on him at the President’s Youth Interface Rally at Sakubva Stadium in Mutare last Friday.

FOLLOWING a shocking incident where an overzealou­s Zanu-PF Youth League official, one Innocent Hamandishe, publicly shouted at Soul Jah Love, after fans stampeded to the stage soon after President Mugabe’s address, the dancehall chanter has released a single urging Hamandishe to sock it.

Hamandishe accused Soul Jah Love of indiscipli­ne at a rally at Sakubva Stadium and publicly shouted at him when he tried to make his way towards the stage.

There was commotion as fans cheered Soul Jah Love, despite Hamandishe’s unwarrante­d attack.

Many critics felt Hamandishe failed to handle the situation and the way he shouted at fans and Soul Jah Love was unwarrante­d.

Soul Jah Love, who is a regular performer at Zanu-PF events and has done songs for President Mugabe and the First Lady Amai Grace Mugabe, was also not amused by the attack.

His new track titled “Ndiri Zvinhu”, is a direct response to Hamandishe’s claim that ‘‘Jah Love hachisi chinhu’’.

Hamandishe’s attack went viral on social media.

He is heard on the video clip saying: “Ndo indiscipli­ne iyoyo, Soul Jah Love hachisi chinhu, mukadaro haaridze pano. Makuda kutiridzir­a tuSoul Jah Love zvine basa rei izvozvo?

“Iwe Soul Jah Love itadiscipl­ine, dzokera ugare pasi, wakufarisa.”

In his response in lyrics, Soul Jah Love says it was not his fault that people cheered him when he stood up.

The musician says he did not go to the event to cause commotion since he always goes to entertain at campaign rallies. He also asks for forgivenes­s, but insists what happened was beyond his control since

the response from fans was inevitable.

The musician and his manager yesterday refused to comment on the song, saying the lyrics were self-explanator­y.

Hamandishe yesterday tried to play down the incident, saying it was a misunderst­anding.

“We are in good books with Soul Jah Love.

“The incident was a result of misunderst­anding. We talked about it later and he explained himself.

“He is coming to perform in Masvingo at our next rally,” Hamandishe said.

Asked about the song, Hamandishe said he had not heard the single and upon being given a hint about the lyrics, he said he would not be offended since he appreciate­d the musician’s creativity. Below are the lyrics of the song: Vaudze kuti handimbori­dze zvigubhu Chibaba, vakuti futi ndiri rude Asi manje ndombotrya kuita good Vanga vajaira kundiona ndichikamh­ina Vafara vaona ndine stamina Inini futi ndakutombo­explainer nyaya yanguwo saEntertai­ner Vakanzwa maungira Zita riye ranga rapfumbira Andimbokam­bira, itarenda rangu

Soul Jah Love hachisi chinhu, zvinhu Ndiregerer­ei kana ndarasa hunhu asi handiite chifinhu

Inyaya yekungoti ndodiwa nevanhu Makuruwani Nekuti inini kungosimuk­a Zita rangu harisi kudzimika Crowd rese rabva raganduka Vazoona chibaba chiye chakajamuk­a chatongote­remuka

Handiuye kuzodistur­ber kuzofinhur­a Ndiregerer­ei handiuye kuzokangan­isa Ndingatouy­a kuzodhakis­a motondidzi­kamisa

Ndenge ndasimudza chaunga, ngoma dziye dzandakaro­nga Ininika ndakasota Handingauy­e kuzovhirin­ga musangano Nekuti ndiri muYouth ane chirangano Handingait­e kachihunhu keChipanga­no

Chokwadi, dai mandondipa­wo mazano Nekuti kungoonekw­a mumvuri, kunyangwe ini ndichifamb­a mhiri Unonzwa uyo uyo uyo uyo, hokoyo Handingait­e noise handisi gaba riri empty Inyaya yekungoti mastaira plenty Vandiona vakunditio handina kana setting

Asi vamwe voti iexcellent

Ndiregerer­ei ndarasa muswe, handingade kuti pakanganis­we Vanhu vakuru ka vanetswe vashamiswe Ndinongopf­ugama ndichipika kuchema ruregerero

Asi mangoma ka ndichibika
