  • FRESHLY GROUND BANNED FROM ZIMBABWE

    13 Sep 2010 by Jasmine Stone in Media, Music, Uncool, World

    Popular South African band, Freshly Ground, have suffered a potentially massive blow to their revenue stream after the Zimbabwean authorities banned the group from traveling or performing in Zimbabwe.

    An immigration official confirmed the cancellation of the group’s working visas to Radio Voice of the People in Zimbabwe but said the department was not obliged to give its reasons.

    “Yes we cancelled the visas for that music group,” Evans Siziba, an immigration official, was quoted as saying.

    The ban is more than likely a retaliation to a song and music video released by Freshly Ground titled “Chicken to Change”, in which Zimbabwean President and eternal being Robert Mugabe is depicted as a chicken.

    The ban is especially devastating given Zimbabwe’s prominent position in the Southern African media retail industry.

    In related news, Zimbabwe has reinforced the global perception that it has a silly, silly government.
