Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Wildlife has taken a further step in making sure that South African stage artist Zodwa Wabantu is prohibited from entering Malawi by informing the Ministry of Homeland Security to enforce the relevant Immigration laws.<\/p>\n

In an address to the Secretary For Homeland Security from Secretary for Tourism, Culture and Wildlife, the Ministry made it clear that it has not cleared Zodwa Wabantu to perform in Malawi or be part of an event in any other capacity and that the application for the entertainment permit has been turned down as guided by the provisions of the Censorship and Control of Entertainment Act.<\/p>\n

Zodwa was booked to perform in Malawi at the Winter Amapiano Vibes on 10th June 2022 at Dominics Hotel in Blantyre. \u201cThe Censorship Board reviewed the application in the context of the concerns regarding her controversial stage acts, and most important Zodwa as a stage artist,\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn processing the application, the Censorship Board had to review the pictures and video clips that are in circulation depicting Zodwa on stage. The ministry has noted that Zodwa has built her career and fame around morally degrading stage acts which include flouting her nudity to audiences\u201d, reads part of the statement.<\/p>\n

However, organizers of the winter Amapiano gig which South Africa\u2019s pantless Zodwa was expected to perform, dares to seek court intervention to challenge ministry of tourism decision barring the artist from coming to Malawi.<\/p>\n
