The Mutare based Kwachu Kwachu-hit-maker Hosiah Chipanga is one of the presidental aspirants in the upcoming 2023 harmonised elections.

In the 2018 national elections, Chipanga contested in the parliamentary election for the Dangamvura/Chikanga in Mutare seat as an independent candidate but he lost.

This year he joined the Zimbabwe People’s Part as the part’s second president.

In his early musical career, Chipanga was a regular at most Zanu PF organised music galas before he became an “enemy of the State” years later after penning a number of songs questioning the ruling Zanu PF government.

Chipanga claims to be experienced in politics as he had been into politics since the colonial era and he used to sing about politics.
