(NDIMA/IFEX) – The Tanzanian government has banned a gospel cassette by evangelist Faustin Munishi, a Tanzanian based in Kenya. The government argues that the cassette, titled “Mpende Adui” (Love the Enemy), has political sentiments.
On Friday 22 September 2000, evangelist Munishi said in Nairobi that his life was in danger following the ban. He said he had been forced to flee his country after word reached him that the police were looking for him. The police, he added, had impounded his cassettes and arrested hundreds of vendors found selling the tape. He vowed to continue “preaching the word of God” despite threats and intimidation.
