AKA has taken to his social media to support his Zimbabweans who are going through the most following recent political tensions in their country.
This is coming after people started making use of the hashtag, #ZimbabweanLivesMatter, to voice their anger about their rights being violated, allegedly by their own government.
However, AKA urged Mzansi peeps to spread awareness about the reported human rights violations in neighboring Zimbabwe.
The Fela In Versace rapper tagged a report by EWN about recent protests in Zimbabwe and tweeted:
“Let’s spread awareness about what’s going on in Zimbabwe … because ultimately the people need all the help they can get.”

AKA then sent love to his fans living in Zim.
He said: “Sending love to the MEGACY in Zimbabwe… I hope y’all good.”

EWN reported that the protests, which have the backing of the main opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) Alliance, were called to show anger at government corruption but a number of the organisers were in hiding.
The ruling ZANU-PF party labelled the MDC Alliance a terrorist group while President Emmerson Mnangagwa claimed that the organisers wanted to overthrow his government, according to the publication.
Another Mzansi celeb who has showed his support to Zimbabweans is Zakes Bantwini.
He tweeted: “With so much against us already as black Africans all we got is each other, let’s not be against one another. #ZimbabweanLivesMatter”
