It features a single recorded by Tiva Styles at his stable TMG and footage shot by Mutare videographer Simba Gee. The hilarious video is inspired by the incident that occurred when the anti-riot police accompanied the Apostolic Christian Council of Zimbabwe to shut down Johanne Masowe weChishanu apostolic sect in Budiriro 2 recently.

Police details, journalists and ACCZ officials were attacked by the militant religious group. The video shows the musician and supporting cast – all clad in white garments and carrying the trademark apostolic walking sticks used.

“Just lie the song, the video captures the violence that broke out between police and the apostolic sect. It adds humour in a mature way that appeals to anyone. We also indirectly denounce the violence,” said Simba Gee. The video joins an array of other hilarious videos inspired by the same incident, including one by musician-cum-producer Clarence Patsika.
