Zodwa, popularly known for her skimpy dresses and not wearing underwear, was expected to join the Brazilian and Cuban samba dancers at the carnival.
The ban follows a protest letter by former Studio 263 actress Anne Nhira to acting Tourism minister Patrick Zhuwao.
“I acknowledge your complaint to the above matter,” Zhuwao wrote yesterday in response to the actress, who is now based in South Africa.
“The government position is that the artiste concerned (Zodwa Wabantu) may not participate at the Harare International Carnival.
“In this regard, relevant authorities have been notified.”
In an interview, an elated Nhira thanked the government for its swift and positive response to her request.
“I am very grateful. I am so excited with the decision by the government. This is not about personalities, I don’t know her,” she said.
“There is need for the people to look at the matter from the country’s point of view.
“What kind of picture are we showing inviting someone known for taking off her panties in public?
“She was coming here to be the face of the country, remember tourism is the face of the country and that is where we sell the country.
“We need to have right faces, not people who take off panties in the streets.”
Nhira said there were a lot of Zimbabwean entertainers with dignified sets, who deserved to be part of the carnival.
She said Zodwa’s antics were retrogressive to Zimbabwean culture.
Ironically, some of the performers at the Harare International Carnival prance around in the nude along the streets, with little fuss.
This came after the Zimbabwe Tourism Authority chief executive officer, Karikoga Kaseke had apologised to the South African entertainer after some unsavoury words about her.

13yr old gang leader and his crew murdered for making threats towards an older gang (graphic video and photo)

A young boy and his fellow gang members were murdered in a gruesome manner after they recorded a video threatening an older gang in Brazil. In videos shared online, a group of young boys with their faces covered are seen making threats, one after the other. They were later caught by the older gang members who then tortured them then blew their heads out. The bodies of the young boys were then left on the street with their brains scattered all over the floor. The older group went on to share videos of them torturing the 13-year-old leader of the gang before killing him and the rest of his crew. A video of their corpse was also shared. The video of the 13-year-old gang leader being tortured is really pathetic because the boy looks so innocent and still has the face of a child. Here is a video of them making the threats. Here is one of the young gang leader being tortured. And here is a grisly video of the aftermath.

Entertainer Zodwa Wabantu has proven once again that she lives life on her terms and doesn't not give a damn about peoples' opinions of her.  The dancer who has made headlines over the last few months for risque dressing and lack of underwear, took things to a whole new level while on vacation recently.  She decided to beat the spring heat by cooling off butt naked in a swimming pool. "Freedom is knowing kuyafana (all the same) Do you. Don't suffer from bazothini abantu (what will people say) Naked pool. Naked truth. Zodwa Wabantu" she wrote. And, just in case you doubted Zodwa has zero F's to give, here's a video just for you:

I have no idea how I'm gonna bounce back from it." "I would never purposely hurt someone ever. I would, obviously, if I knew this ...
