Gamu knows coming back home to Zimbabwe would put her in grae danger. Oh yes, danger from hunger, disease, joblessness and ridicule from some back here. The innocent girl is shouting for her survival. What chances of earning a living does she have here in Zim. Those who sought refuge in the UK did so on that premise as well. Why blame the young lady? I mean who want to come back to this heat and hunger from the relative comfort of London? How does one seek asylum coz I want out right. A dark cloud is hanging over Zim right now and can’t bear it. Heeeelp.

You would think that she had put her life on the line by going on X-factor. What she did, feeds into the British press and their agenda of trying to portray Mugabe as an evil despot and Zimbabwe as a chaotic country with no rule of law. Gamu you sang, to enrich yourself and your life! The likes of Jestina Mukoko and Beatrice Mutetwa speak out for Zimbabweans everyday not to enrich themselves or their lives, they speak about real issues affecting Zimbabweans yet i do not see them facing the firing squad! Grow up!

in the end it comes down to her mother. I think she should be wise enough to advise her ddaughter accordingly. There is nothing worse than denegrating your roots and mockingthe life she led before. Thats my beef with her.

I heard about Gamu’s interview and it is very unfortunate. It is important to note she is rather young, and has tasted that addictive drug of fame and at this point is desparate to keep her career in the UK. That is understood. The sad thing is that the media has done little research into her particular situation to find out if she was EVER in any kind of political danger. There are those as you say, who were beaten, are being beaten in the consitution process and still see the hope in this country. It wouldn’t hurt the Scottish paper to actually investigate to see where these allegations are coming from, and just for her to understand how serious these claims are. The fact still remains that her mother never went to the UK as an asylee and did claim funds she wasn’t eligable for. It would be nice if some accountability was taken by the mother on those issues.
