THE Media Institute of Southern Africa (Zimbabwe) has condemned Tanzanian authorities for their harsh six-month suspension of a TV station for airing a musician who was scantily dressed during a live show.
The station, Wasafi TV, was banned for six months by the Tanzanian Communications Regulatory Authority (TCRA).
The regulatory authority accused the station Wasafi TV had violated regulations by broadcasting the scene during the Tumewasha festival.
In addition to the suspension, WasafiTV was also ordered to issue an apology.
The musician, Gigy Money, was fined Tanzanian Shillings 50,000 (US$22) for removing her gown on stage and exposing herself.
