Just a few days after his release from Chikurubi Maximum Prison in Zimbabwe, award winning journalist Hopewell Chin’ono, a reggae music fanatic, has sent social media users into a frenzy with his anti-corruption song titled “Dem Loot”.
In the first publication of the free style ‘jam’ on social media today, Hopewell asked for a good music producer for doing a song against looting.
The post has already received 5000 likes, 3000 comments and over 300 shares within 3 hours.
Within a short space of time he had already released another video of the same song featuring Ugandan President, Yoweri Museveni showing some dance moves.
He also posted a Shona version of the same song.
The Shona version had with 20 minutes garnered 800 likes and 300 comments while the Museveni version attracted almost a thousand likes and over 200 comments in less than an hour on Facebook alone.
The hype has also brought about a Them Loot challenge where people are now posting their own videos singing along to the same song.
Hopewell has so far been controversially arrested on several occasions mostly for exposing corrupt activities by government officials in Zimbabwe
