Tanzania Govt Shuts Down Two Radio Stations by PetmaxFlame: 1:24pm On Aug 30, 2016
The government has shut down two radio stations indefinitely for allegedly airing seditious content.

Dar es Salaam-based Magic FM and Radio Five Arusha had been banned effective yesterday, the Minister of Information, Culture, Arts and Sports, Mr Nape Nnauye, said at a news conference in Dar es Salaam.

He said the decision followed "seditious" content broadcast by Magic FM and Radio Five on August 17 and 25, respectively.

Magic FM aired content in its Morning Magic programme from 7am to 8am, which had the potential to cause a breakdown of law and order, Mr Nnauye said.

Radio Five also allegedly broadcast seditious content in its Matukio programme aired from 8pm to 9pm.

By doing so, the two radio stations violated the Broadcasting Services Regulations (Content), the minister added.
