The two collaborated on a song —Ibotso, from Winky D’s latest offering Eureka.
The song has been interpreted to be political, with a lobby group <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Economic_Empowerment_Group">Economic Empowerment Group </a>even saying <a href="https://www.google.com/amp/s/news.pindula.co.zw/2023/01/03/winky-d-holy-ten-collabo-winky-d-must-be-banned-from-performing-in-zimbabwe/amp/">Winky D should be banned from performing in Zimbabwe, </a>because of the song.
Holy Ten, who has previously said<a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/eureka-holy-ten-says-he-regrets-working-with-winky-d/"> he  regrets working with Winky D, </a>dissed the Kambuzuma-raised chanter while speaking on an online show The Episode. He said:
<blockquote>
The man you are talking about (Winky D) is a snake longer than his dreadlocks. But even the serpent did not force the apple, which became a global disaster, into Eve’s mouth.  
The serpent spoke and Eve made a decision. So in this case, I’m Eve.
</blockquote>
Asked if he would have preferred to have done a song with a different meaning with Winky, Holy Ten said:
<blockquote>
I would have never done a song with Winky Gee, that’s me avoiding to be sued. I’m not stupid, I have done law and we signed contracts. 
</blockquote>
Holy Ten has been heavily criticized for his latest comments with award-winning journalist Hopewell Chin’ono advising the Anotobvawo Kune Vanhu hit-maker to learn from his ‘elders’. He said:
<blockquote>
My brother Holly, stop player hating.
Winky D has been doing this music thing for decades, so you might learn something from engaging with him without dissing him.
Winky D is bigger, that is why everyone was happy to see him give you an opportunity to duet!
Show some respect to Winky D and also you must realize that the kind of things you are saying here can turn some of your fans off.
Live and learn, don’t destroy your career dude with this silly and misguided comments.
Winky D gave you a bigger platform than you ever had, a thank you is what a decent person would do.
Do you have management, if you have change them.
A REAL manager wouldn’t let you say this crap!
usatande Botso munin’ina, unopera sesipo!!!
Holy must understand that ZANUPF is not stupid.
They know he did this song willingly but then regretted &amp; is worried about losing the free stuff.
They know that he is trying so hard to fix his image with them.
ZANUPF has more respect for Winky D because they know where he stands with his views.
Holy is just blowing with the wind, so ZANUPF has no respect for him at all, and they have said it privately.
They know he is saying these stupid things to pretend like he is on their side, they know that all he is afraid of is losing freebies, they ain’t stupid.
Asviba both sides and the more he talks, the more he looks like a clown.
Sad!!!

He Is A Snake Longer Than His Dreadlocks: Holy Ten Disses Winky D

Norton legislator, Temba Mliswa (Independent) has criticised Youth, Sport, Arts and Recreation Deputy Minister, Tinoda Machakaire for claiming that Winky D’s latest album, Eureka, is causing “chaos” in the country.
Machakaire said the Zimdancehall chanter should desist from attacking the government and instead, use the right structures to air his grievances.
According to journalist Brezhnev Malaba, one of Winky D’s tracks on the album “Ibotso” portrays Zimbabwe as a crime scene, a long-decayed society in which the residents naively hope things will miraculously change for the better.
Responding to Machakaire’s utterances, Mliswa said there is nothing wrong with Winky D bringing up pertinent issues which are plaguing this country. He said:
<blockquote>
The truth of the matter is that Winky D never insulted, attacked, or cursed anyone. He has created no chaos.
He simply brought up pertinent issues which are plaguing this country as everyone knows. His model and platforms are very much on point as a musician.
There is no need for him to approach a political party for private intercourse about those issues, so as not to sing about them.
He is an artist. Moda ayimbe zvemadrugs nerudo zvega here? This is a form of fascist censorship you are now advancing.
His way of addressing and raising them, through music, is adequate and correct all the way.
Those singers, activists and politicians who have rushed to report incorrectly about him are the most dangerous people because they exhibit a gross lack of mental acumen.
Instead of interrogating issues candidly and analytically they see issues in a binary manner where critical analysis or simply stating the truth is an insult.
</blockquote>
Mliswa stated that Winky D is more patriotic than the likes of DJ Fantan who are “bootlicking” ZANU PF. He said:
<blockquote>
It’s because there are limited minds who think gulping down everything blindly is the correct form of patriotism.
Winky D is more patriotic than all those other DJs and singers bootlicking the party by foolishly insinuating the involvement of foreign embassies on a music project.
Who doesn’t know that the thematic content on Eureka Eureka is the same since way back for Winky D?
It’s nothing new. He has produced many songs before with similar content. Was he being paid all that time?

Winky D Hails Fans For "Connecting" With Eureka

The Deputy Chief Secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet George Charamba said that musician Holy Ten, whose real name is Mukudzei Chitsama, has been forgiven after he apologised for allegedly criticising the government.
This comes after <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Holy_Ten">Holy Ten</a> said he was regretting working with <a href="https://www.pindula.co.zw/Winky_D">Winky D</a> in <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/eureka-zimbabwe-is-a-crime-scene-brezh-malabas-analysis-of-winky-ds-ibotsho/">Ibotso</a>, a song which is on Winky’s latest album titled Eureka.
The musician claimed the song had been sensationalised by commentators, mainly journalists. In a Twitter post, Holy Ten said:
<blockquote>
Activists, journalists, lawyers – Split opinions will not do any good for a brand that’s trying to serve &amp; save everyone so help me by not acting like I’ve picked a side. Do not politicize a project that I’ve considered a mere honor to be a part of. I regret it now honestly 
</blockquote>
Also posting on the microblogging site, Charamba said Chitsama had been wholly forgiven but warned him never to criticize the government, saying “the feeding trough is important”. Wrote Charamba:
<blockquote>
You are wholly forgiven Holy Ten. Next time usatize chikoro mfana Gumi. Chihiro chakakosha. Nyika inovakwa nevene vayo.
</blockquote>
The song, Ibotso, has been viewed by some as depicting Zimbabwe as a long-decayed society in which the residents naively hope things will miraculously change for the better.
Brezhnev Malaba, a prominent journalist, in <a href="https://zero.pindula.co.zw/eureka-zimbabwe-is-a-crime-scene-brezh-malabas-analysis-of-winky-ds-ibotsho/">his analysis of the song</a>, said Zimbabwe is a crime scene. He said:
<blockquote>
Corruption-induced poverty has unleashed devastating poverty on ghetto youths. Hunger has ensnared naive girls into a life of debauchery. There are artistes who conveniently choose to ignore these stark realities. 
Winky D has set himself apart.
In Ibotso, he lays bare the ugly underbelly of a long-decayed society that foolishly hides beneath a threadbare cloak of self-denial, in the forlorn hope of swiftly waking up from a prolonged nightmare. Where delusion meets deceit, victims abound.
The Gafa chants: “Vanotora zvevapfupi nekureba”. What comes next is epic. Holy 10, his eager apprentice, then intones: “Sekutamba sekuseka”. From that point on, the flow is infectious, irresistible, and delectable.
