Yashaker Shaker: Enzo Ishall Denies Contesting Zanu PF Primary Elections

Zimdancehall musician Enzo Ishall has finally spoken out over reports he participated in the recent Zanu-PF primary elections.

The Kanjiva hitmaker was the butt of social media jokes on Tuesday after he amassed a measly 7 votes out of 1,385 in Sunningdale.

Enzo Ishall allegedly contested in the Zanu-PF primary elections held over the weekend under his real name Kudzanai Mamhare.

Government critic journalist Hopewell Chin’ono disparaged the musician saying his participation on a Zanu PF ticket made him an enemy of the people;

After amassing just 7 votes, Enzo Ishall was referred to as 007 the codename of the legendary James Bond.

Enzo Ishall seemed to have taken the supposed defeat with grace after he shared a video featuring the iconic Batman villain, Joker, applauding and a silhouette of James Bond, bearing the codename 007 on his Instagram stories.

However, hours later the Vakamhanya Makarimwa chanter took to his Facebook page and denied he had participated in Zanu-PF’s primary elections.

He said if he were to participate as a Zanu-PF candidate he should not be judged as it is his democratic right. Enzo Ishall added that if he were to participate in politics he would inform his fans hinting that he will do so in the next elections.
