An artist that has gained some recognition for his impressions has taken to social media to tell us he has had enough! He reiterated a lamentation expressed by many Zimbabwean artists. The issue is that of an unwillingness of Zimbabweans to support the arts. Some are said to even go as far as sabotaging artists to ensure that they don’t get the recognition they ought to.
Innocent Kufakunesu, who refers to himself as Innocent Answer on social platforms felt the need to vent about this sad situation faced by artists. His works have been shared on the most popular social platforms in Zimbabwe several times. However, these platforms are said to not give him credit for his work.

One way to go about this problem is to put a watermark on videos. However, Kufakunesu expressed a challenge he faced while trying to implement the watermark strategy.

Kufakunesu is known for his excellent Mugabe impression. He also does impressions of the artists, Holy Ten, Enzo Ishall, Zhakata and Mtukudzi among others.
