Out of the two brothers, Chimbetu had the greater success. This was interrupted by his 2-year imprisonment from 1993 after being convicted of receiving stolen property. He was released in 1995 and immediately shot to the top with Pachipamwe (Welcome Back). The song "Saina", off "Pachipamwe", was favourite of many at weddings and social gatherings. His albums "Survival" and "Lullaby" are highly critical of the Mugabe regime. One of Chimbetu's distinct successes was being able to reclaim his top spot even after being jailed for such a long time. While in prison, another musician, Leonard Zhakata had wooed many fans with his similarly styled beat and well thought out lyrics. After this purple patch, Simon's career plummeted after he became more directly linked to the ruling ZANU-PF party.
