Joshua made a name for himself after he held sermons whereby he preached about black empowerment. A lot of black people are inspired by his teachings as he taught people on how to start their own businesses, how to keep their cultures and tradition and not jut follow the western cultures blindly. https:\/\/twitter.com\/daddyhope\/status\/1482374146633908224?t=F0N68VQ8Ec9AdlvoeHve0A&amp;s=19<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/a98ab0ea75574c4181b641994ceaa1d9\"\/><\/p>\n<p>This has been a struggle for most lack people. Accepting who they are therefore Joshua gave them something to hold on to something that inspires them. However in a recent picture that has been posted on social media a lot of Zimbabweans became so angry with Joshua Maponga.<\/p>\n<p>In the photo he was seen wearing a ZANU pf regalia which is the ruling party in Zimbabwe and associating with people belonging to the party. This triggered anger in a lot of Zimbabweans considering how much most people hate the ruling party because of the destroyed economy that Zimbabwe is currently facing.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/b141c4fe6345467fa7197daea827a8bc\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Zimbabwe has well known economical hardships that are in turn affecting the neighbouring country South Africa as most Zimbabweans flee for greener pastures in South Africa. They believed Maponga was all about black empowerment therefore seeing him associating himself with a party that does not put its people first was so angering as well as heart breaking.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/0601805e5d7c40cfbebd62f963ac8637\"\/><\/p>\n<p>&#8221;What disappointed me most is that I had a collection of Maponga s videos and podcasts etc. Today I&#8217;m a fool. I deleted everything . It a smack in my face . I&#8217;ve learnt never to idolize any human being. They indicate left and then turn right immediately.&#8221; wrote Peter Masunda a Twitter user.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/c25512a5c4ae44f5ae6b111a6e994c1d\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Its clear a lot of people were not happy with what Joshua Maponga did. However everyone is allowed to chose their own political party despite wat [people may think or say. they have their reasons for doing so and should therefore be respected.<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/daa5ad2f03894c29be6213c438838910\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: Rumbiekay (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
