Reports from Tanzania suggests that through the country’s Music Regulatory Board, popularly Known as BASATA, the posting of indecent photos on social media has been banned.

Those affected by the ban include musicians like Gigy Money, Pretty Kind, Model Sanchoka, Video Vixen Amber Lulu among others.

According to the executive secretary of the Board, those affected by the ban will not be allowed to do music for a period of six months.

The Electronic and Postal Communications (Online Content) Regulations was passed and signed into law last year and states the content banned as including:  “indecent, obscene, hate speech, extreme violence or material that will offend or incite others, cause annoyance, threaten, or encourage or incite crime, or lead to public disorder, per the law.”

Already, reports indicate some prominent artists in the country including singer Susan Michael, stage name Pretty Kind, have already fallen foul of the law.

She’s currently serving a six months ban.

Tanzanian President John Magufuli has been praised for his stance against corruption in government since taking over, and is now turning to social ‘decadence’.
