Life Imprisonment: Diamond Platnumz on the hook in Tanzania

Tanzania is a no joke country. Ratchet behaviour is not entertained in President Magufuli’s era. Decency is his number one principle. Do you think Kenyan Musicians can survive in Tanzania?

According to dailyactive.info, Diamond Platnumz is facing fire just a few days after Wema Sepetu got banned and arrested for posting indecent content online.

A furious Chama Cha Mapinduzi politician, Cyprias Musiba has called for the government to take action against Diamond Platnumz and stop letting him off the hook in every occasion.

The politician complained that Diamond Platnumz has been let off the hook numerous times even after previously being arrested and warned.

“Who is Diamond Platnumz? You mean he is untouchable? Who is he?!” he posed.

He says that Diamond should be banned from the entertainment industry and arrested for misleading the younger generation.

“People are bringing politics on matters of principle. What kind of children will we raise, if these are the models we allow in the media,” he said.

Mr Musiba says that if he could he would completely abolish the country’s music and arts board, Baraza la Sanaa Tanzania (BASATA) as they are not consistent with their objective.

“They let Diamond, Wema Sepetu, Hamisa Mobetto and Irene Uwoya go after posting indecent content. They should have been jailed for life
