đź’¨ Abstract

Lebani Sirenje, known as Rasta, a Zimbabwean artist, faces backlash following his portrait of the late actor Presley Chweneyagae, known for his role in "Tsotsi." Social media users debated whether the portrait was recognizable, with some suggesting a petition to stop Rasta from painting. Earlier, he created controversial portraits of figures like Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and Oliver Mtukudzi, often at funeral or memorials.
