Themba Gorimbo, a Zimbabwean MMA fighter, has been making waves by speaking out against the government and ZANU-PF. Recently, he denied allegations of being affiliated with the ruling party, clarifying that his visit to State House in 2021 was purely professional. Gorimbo emphasized his independence, stating, “I am not part of any political parties in Zimbabwe and never did I criticize any party”.
There’s also been chatter about Gorimbo allegedly refusing money and a car from businessman Wicknell Chivayo, known for his extravagant gifts to influential figures, including musician Jah Prayzah, who once received a US$300,000 gift, it’s clear Gorimbo’s maintained his independence amid speculation.
Gorimbo’s response to criticism showcases his commitment to staying apolitical. After a recent UFC defeat sparked backlash and accusations of being a ZANU-PF fighter, Gorimbo took to social media to set the record straight. “Be happy about my loss, but don’t involve me in your stories of politics,” he said, reiterating his desire to avoid politics.
As for who would win between Themba Gorimbo and the “colossal” musangano, it’s unclear what “musangano” refers to in this context. If it’s a metaphor for the challenges Gorimbo faces, his determination to speak his mind might give him an edge. However, without further context, it’s difficult to predict the outcome. One thing is certain, though: Gorimbo’s stance has garnered both support and criticism, showcasing the complexities of navigating politics and sports in Zimbabwe.end//..
