Jonas recalls him visiting their house in Chitungwiza, a city about 25km outside Zimbabwean capital Harare, as a child, when crowds of neighbours would flood the street to catch a glimpse of “Comrade Chinx”. Jonas, who moved to Shannon via Sheffield with his family at the age of nine while his father worked for Shannon Aerospace, says his change of heart was instigated by a bout of depression that his younger brother experienced in 2017. He realised that he needed to set an example by being honest and real in his own life. “I remember at the time, especially around the Rusangano days, I would avoid anything that was a divider or anything polarising,” he says.
“Oh man, I lost my mind,” he laughs, recalling the moment he heard the track. “The studio that we were in felt like it was a stadium at that moment. And he was really nervous, because I can imagine, you don’t wanna desecrate somebody’s legacy. So he just said, ‘lemme give it a shot’ — and he made a really banging tune out of it.”
“So we’re all from near the same area, and Jah Master shot the video for his song Unonzani in our local town centre — so we were already big fans of him because he’s one of us,” explains Jonas. “And then to find out that this guy who made Hello Mwari — which is a big tune in Zimbabwe — is related to me, it was just crazy.”

Watch next people will be saying I'm 100% a man and 100% a woman. Oh wait........
Maths has left the room…
No your not Irish, BE proud of your African heritage
No matter what country I ever moved to I can’t see myself being ashamed to be seen as Irish and claim to be the same nationality as those born there. I would apply for citizenship if I was there long enough but that’s a different thing. That’s an acknowledgment of contribution.
He's 100% Irish citizen...
Newspeak in action
As long as he has an ass hole he'll never be Irish. Anyway you have to be a white person to be Irish.
😠
CayeHyland He’s as irish as joe Duffy
Very disappointed that this racism is not being called out in the comments. This level of dehumanising, appropriating cultural erosion should be criminal.
1+1=1
It's alarming the poor quality of education Jonas has received in Shannon. A serious overall of maths in our curriculum is required.
🤪

Low iq par for the course.

FFG have destroyed the word Irish. Anyone arriving by cheap Ryanair flight can call themselves Irish. You are either Gaelic or your not.
