'''Mukubesa Mundia''' (born September 28, 1982), better known by his stage name '''Petersen Zagaze''' is a [[Zambia]]n Reggae recording artist, record and producer from [[Lusaka]], [[Zambia]]. He initially gained recognition after his first single in 2005 ''Munyaule''. Petersen is also the chief executive officer (CEO) of his own label imprint, Zaga Lyfe Entertainnment and 2016 Kora Awards Best Male Southern Africa Nominee.<ref name=AWR/>


==Campaign==
==Music career==
Incumbent President [[Rupiah Banda]], of the ruling [[Movement for Multi-Party Democracy]] party, ran for his first full term as President after replacing [[Levy Mwanawasa]], who died in August 2008.<ref>[http://www.lusakatimes.com/2010/11/23/luwingu-backs-rupiahs-candidature-2011/ Zambia: Luwingu backs Rupiah’s candidature in 2011] ''Lusaka Times'', 23 November 2010</ref>
Petersen's music career starts off in 2002 as a songwriter. He recorded his first album in 2004 and now on record has five albums plus a number of hit singles.


[[Michael Sata]] was the candidate of the [[Patriotic Front (Zambia)|Patriotic Front]] and [[Hakainde Hichilema]] was the candidate of the [[United Party for National Development]].<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-14952240 China's stake in Zambia's election] BBC News </ref>
===Early Music Career 2002-2004===
In 2002 Petersen entered Zambian music as a song writer and <ref name=Awd>{{cite web|title=Petersen Zagaze’s Biography |url= http://www.koraawards.com/en/music/biography-petersen/ |publisher= Kora Awards|accessdate=1 April 2016}}</ref> backing [[vocalist]] for various artists in [[Zambia]] his first taste was after writing ‘goodnight’ for a group called Ba Crazy and he was then featured on two of the tracks in the group's album which titled ''Goodnight''.


With Chinese companies investing US$2&nbsp;billion by the end of 2010 in the Zambian economy, the status of Chinese business ties with Zambia, Africa's largest copper producer, grew significantly. Early in his campaign, Sata accused the Chinese mining firms of having slave-like labour conditions and ignoring safety standards and local cultural practices.<ref name="aljaz"/> He has been nicknamed "King Cobra" because of his harsh rhetoric, but he later toned down his rhetoric against the mostly Chinese foreign mining firms.<ref name="reuters"/>
In 2003 Petersen worked with '''Mondo Music Corp.’s''' '''Bob Mabege''' on his album ''Mr True'' and he also featured in Bob Mabege's hit single ''Poor Finishing''


==Conduct==
In 2004 he worked with '''2 proud''' and wrote the song ''Nzabagwile.'' Petersen has written, composed and featured on ''Vobweleka bweleka'' and ''Ngayaposa Kukosa'' for '''Mwembe Muntu'''’s album,
Two days before the results were officially announced, the High Court banned three independent media outlets from publishing speculation on the result after ''The Post'' published a headline reading "Sata Heads for Victory." The same day, Banda's office also said that such reports were "rumours" as no final result had been compiled.  The delay in announcing the results was the cause of riots in [[Ndola]] and [[Kitwe]], where youths fought with riot police while also burning vehicles and markets. Additionally, hackers attacked the Election Commission's website that night and posted false results suggesting Sata won by a landslide.<ref name="aljaz"/><ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15019198 Zambia poll: Riots in Kitwe and Ndola over slow results] BBC News</ref>


[[European Union]] electoral observers said that the election was "generally well administered," but that there was not equitable access to resources, resulting in the lack of a "level playing field" in the campaign. They said that state-owned media had failed to meet "even their minimal obligations as public service media."<ref name="voa">[http://blogs.voanews.com/breaking-news/2011/09/22/opposition-leader-sata-declared-winner-of-zambia-election/ Opposition Leader Sata Declared Winner of Zambia Election] VOA News  </ref>
===2005-present===
In 2005 Petersen ventured for a solo career starting with his  debut hit single ‘Munyaule’ which featured General Ozzy and later that year named his first album '''Munyaule'''.


The Zambian-based [[Foundation for Democratic Process]] criticised the holding of the election without electoral reform. It blamed the history of electoral violence and the previous failure of the losing parties to accept losing on the lack of reform.<ref>[http://www.lusakatimes.com/2010/11/19/holding-elections-current-constitution-mockery-fodep/ Zambia: Holding elections under current constitution is a mockery – FODEP] ''Lusaka Times'', 19 November 2010</ref> While many called for the establishment of a 50% + 1 vote system for electing the president, the government said a new system would not be used for the election.<ref>[http://www.postzambia.com/post-read_article.php?articleId=15873 "50% + 1 won’t be used in 2011"] – ''Kunda Post'', Zambia, 19 November 2010</ref>
In 2007 Petersen released a new album with producer Ben Blazer title ''Bobojani''


==Results==
In 2012 Petersen was working on his new album which was the much anticipated album titled ''Job 13 - 13'' but was delayed to be released , but the further delays saw him releasing a 22-track compilation titled ''Stoga Compilation: Tiger Revolution'', before the album drops.<ref name=PEP/>
On 23 September, Chief Justice Ernest Sakala announced Sata the winner of the election with 1,150,045 votes, or 43%, with 95.3% of votes counted. Banda received 961,796 votes, or 36.1%, and other minor parties trailed in the poll.<ref name="aljaz"/><ref>[http://www.foxnews.com/world/2011/09/22/zambias-incumbent-president-concedes-defeat-following-election/ |agency.

===National Assembly===
=== Music & Society ===
Voting did not take place in two constituencies ([[Magoye]] and [[Nakonde]]) on polling day due to deaths of candidates,<ref>''Zambia General Elections, 20 September 2011: Report of the Commonwealth'', Commonwealth Observer Group</ref> and the elected member for [[Chongwe (Zambia Parliament constituency)|Chongwe]] (Japhen Mwakalombe of the MMD) resigned before taking his seat. By-elections were held for all three seats on 24 November 2011, with the PF winning two (Chongwe and Nakonde) and the UPND one (Magoye).
Petersen's reaction of politicians was not
entirely unexpected. Pressure also came from some church leaders that took great exception to Munyaule, a song that out-rightly euphemised sex like no other musician has ever done in Zambia.

==Reactions==
Petersen did not spare the church  with a background in the church, Zagaze recounts in his song Amakwebo Mu Church, the travesty
Sata received a congratulatory telephone call from his U.S. counterpart Barack Obama.<ref name="Reuters">[http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/23/us-zambia-election-idUSTRE78M4HY20110923] Zambia's "King Cobra" Sata sworn in as president</ref> While in the 2006 election China had threatened to cut diplomatic relations with Zambia if Sata was elected, due to his criticisms of Chinese mining interests in the country,<ref>[http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-15034694 Michael Sata: Zambia's 'King Cobra' finally strikes] BBC News </ref> China issued a statement "welcoming" the result.<ref name="Reuters"/>
that seem to have engulfed the Zambian church. In his song ''Amakwebo Mu Church'' Petersen visits a church after a long time only to find that the church has now become a
market place, selling everything from houses, to cars, and music albums. He then requests, that ''“Messiah bwelelanso ukwapule nafuti … ama kwebo mu church yafula"'' which means ''Messiah come back on earth and come Whip again.... Cause money has increased in the church''. The message in Amakwebo Mu Church is quite appropriate for the Zambian church, particularly the pentecostal church that seem to be experiencing a serious identity crisis.


==Analysis==
===Music & Politics ===
[[Psephology|Psephologist]]s suggested that the youth vote helped [[anti-incumbency]] in a continent that rarely results in an anti-incumbent vote. They also drew parallels with the 2011 ousting of the presidents of [[2011 Tunisian revolution|Tunisia]] and [[2011 Egyptian revolution|Egypt]].<ref name="aljaz">[http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2011/09/2011922234557755338.html Opposition leader wins Zambia election – Africa] Al Jazeera English </ref> As a result of Sata's rhetoric, there were also concerns about the future investment climate in the country.<ref name="reuters">[http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/09/22/us-zambia-election-idUSTRE78L7BB20110922 |title=King Cobra Sata wins Zambia presidential race] Reuters </ref> Other readings said that after Sata toned down his rhetoric he did not differ much from Banda, but benefited from a crowded ballot of candidates.<ref>[http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/Challenger-Michael-Sata-wins-Zambia-presidential-elections/articleshow/10085946.cms Challenger Michael Sata wins Zambia presidential elections] The Times of India</ref> Psephologists also indicated that Sata did well in the urban areas, while Banda was expected to do well in the rural areas.<ref name="voa"/>
Petersen's prolific criticism to the politicians that had moved to ban his 2005 Munyaule. In the Job 13:13 <ref name=PEP/> song Zagaze stated that the parliamentarians had better things to do in parliament than debate his songs. Calling politicians as “ba mwankole wearing black suits”, he called out their hypocrisy about targeting his Munyaule songs when they themselves had absolutely no morals. The same politicians who were pontificating about morals were “corrupt thieves, selfish and wife batterers.”

Mukubesa Mundia (born September 28, 1982), better known by his stage name Petersen Zagaze is a Zambian Reggae recording artist, record and producer from Lusaka, Zambia. He initially gained recognition after his first single in 2005 Munyaule. Petersen is also the chief executive officer (CEO) of his own label imprint, Zaga Lyfe Entertainnment and 2016 Kora Awards Best Male Southern Africa Nominee.[4]

Music career

Petersen's music career starts off in 2002 as a songwriter. He recorded his first album in 2004 and now on record has five albums plus a number of hit singles.

Early Music Career 2002-2004

In 2002 Petersen entered Zambian music as a song writer and [5] backing vocalist for various artists in Zambia his first taste was after writing ‘goodnight’ for a group called Ba Crazy and he was then featured on two of the tracks in the group's album which titled Goodnight.

In 2003 Petersen worked with Mondo Music Corp.’s Bob Mabege on his album Mr True and he also featured in Bob Mabege's hit single Poor Finishing

In 2004 he worked with 2 proud and wrote the song Nzabagwile. Petersen has written, composed and featured on Vobweleka bweleka and Ngayaposa Kukosa for Mwembe Muntu’s album,

2005-present

In 2005 Petersen ventured for a solo career starting with his debut hit single ‘Munyaule’ which featured General Ozzy and later that year named his first album Munyaule.

In 2007 Petersen released a new album with producer Ben Blazer title Bobojani

In 2012 Petersen was working on his new album which was the much anticipated album titled Job 13 - 13 but was delayed to be released , but the further delays saw him releasing a 22-track compilation titled Stoga Compilation: Tiger Revolution, before the album drops.[6]

In 2015 Petersen produced his fourth album King Solomon[1] and also features Afunika, Flexville Marley and Nameless from Kenya.

Music & Society

Petersen's reaction of politicians was not entirely unexpected. Pressure also came from some church leaders that took great exception to Munyaule, a song that out-rightly euphemised sex like no other musician has ever done in Zambia.

Petersen used the visibility Munyaule had brought him to highlight several injustices he saw in Zambian politics and the society it breeds.

Petersen did not spare the church with a background in the church, Zagaze recounts in his song Amakwebo Mu Church, the travesty that seem to have engulfed the Zambian church. In his song Amakwebo Mu Church Petersen visits a church after a long time only to find that the church has now become a market place, selling everything from houses, to cars, and music albums. He then requests, that “Messiah bwelelanso ukwapule nafuti … ama kwebo mu church yafula" which means Messiah come back on earth and come Whip again.... Cause money has increased in the church. The message in Amakwebo Mu Church is quite appropriate for the Zambian church, particularly the pentecostal church that seem to be experiencing a serious identity crisis.

Music & Politics

Petersen's prolific criticism to the politicians that had moved to ban his 2005 Munyaule. In the Job 13:13 [6] song Zagaze stated that the parliamentarians had better things to do in parliament than debate his songs. Calling politicians as “ba mwankole wearing black suits”, he called out their hypocrisy about targeting his Munyaule songs when they themselves had absolutely no morals. The same politicians who were pontificating about morals were “corrupt thieves, selfish and wife batterers.”

In 2013, he featured in PilAto's single entitled BUFI a highly politically charged song that labeled the late President Michael Sata a ‘Father of Lies’.[7] The song got a negative feed back from the supporters of the ruling party.[8]
