| Oliver Mtukudzi |
ZIMBABWEAN superstar Oliver Mtukudzi has been named among the top 20 most interesting trends around Africa by the magazine DestinyConnect.
The list features blistering mobile telephone sales, edgy furniture made from reclaimed wood and humanoid robots directing traffic in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
Musician, businessman, philanthropist and human rights activist, Mtukudzi, is ranked 16th and described as arguably the most internationally recognised cultural icon to have emerged from Zimbabwe.
“He sings about political violence and the hardships of everyday life (without directly criticising the regime of President Robert Mugabe), incorporating different musical traditions and amassing a following across Africa and elsewhere after a series of overseas trips,” says Destiny Connect.
