Tanzania’s Communications Regulatory Authority has banned several songs by the country’s top artists including Diamond Platnumz’s hit songs.

Diamonds hit songs; Waka Waka and Hallelujah were among the banned songs.

A statement from the ministry said that the list of banned songs was compiled by the state’s body in charge of arts and culture for depicting videos that promoted suggestive dancing and sexual innuendo, which is contrary to the cultural practice of the country.

Other Bongo songs are Pale Kati Patamu by Ney wa Mitego, Chura and Nimevurugwa by Snura, Hainaga Ushemeji by Manifongo, I’m Sorry JK by Nikki Mbishi, Kibamia by Roma Mkatoliki, Tema Mate Tumchape by Madee, Uzuri Wako by Jux, Nampa Papa by Gigy Money and Nampaga by Barnaba.
