Passion Java has always enjoyed some level of attention that comes with his celebrity status, but it looks like the youth are now growing tired of following him around.
The Zanu PF preacher recently attempted one of his signature walkabouts, this time turning to the streets of Chiredzi. But as Hopewell Chin’ono reports, the youth completely mized him, and had no time for him. According to him, the youth are sick of the government’s empty promises, and Passion Java’s affiliation with Zanu PF and the president makes him part of the team nobody cares about any more.
The journalist shared a video showing the preacher walking through the streets, while everyone around just stands by and watches him pass. Normally, he would be surrounded by adoring fans who can’t wait to get close to him. But this time, it was as though nothing out of the ordinary was going on, as the people in the vicinity simply went about their business.
Today Passion Java tried his walk about antics in Chiredzi and the youth stayed away.
He is seen here doing his signature walk about, however unlike in the past, Chiredzi folks just went about their business.

Social media users were extremely tickled by the video. As many of them commented, there was absolutely no reason for him to show up with as many bodyguards as he did, as they all ended up being completely useless.
Others have said that this trend has been seen in other places, not just Chiredzi. Apparently, just last week, he did the same thing in Sam Levy’s village in Harare, but once again nobody was bothered by his presence.

hahahahaIs it time for Passion Java to accept that he no longer has the star power he once held, and that these walkabouts are just not working? Could his affiliation with the political party result in making him irrelevant as a celebrity, or even as a preacher?
But it is no secret that he and Hopewell have never been each other’s biggest fans. This is not the first time that the award winning journalist and filmmaker has come at Passion Java.
Not too long ago, they locked horns when Hopewell called Passion Java a comedian “prophet”, and said it was very stupid that he had 300K followers while activist Namatai Kwekweza had only one thousand.
Passion Java did not appreciate the post, and hit back at him, calling him a failed journalist, trying to stay relevant by attacking Zimbabweans and politicians, hoping to get some money from NGOs. It was all a rather hectic saga.
What do you think? Should Passion Java just hang it up now? I mean, that video was quite painful to watch, wasn’t it?
