MUSICIANS who engage in violence would be dealt with in terms of the law, the Zimbabwe Republic Police has said. In a statement following violent scenes that rocked the Sting 2014 event where Soul Jah Love and Seh Calaz were performing in Harare last Saturday, national police spokesperson Chief Superintendent Paul Nyathi appealed to musicians to be mature in their conduct.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police would like to warn Zim Dancehall artistes against agitating for violence as shown by the two artistes who even tried to fight while being interviewed by a local radio station last Thursday,” he said.
“Any artiste who tries to engage in any acts of violence will be severely dealt with in terms of the country’s laws.”
The ZRP said no one died during the skirmishes at the City Sports Centre on Saturday night, contrary to claims in the media suggesting three had died.
Chief Supt Nyathi said nine people were injured during the skirmishes.
“The Zimbabwe Republic Police would like to correct the misconceptions that are circulating in the media concerning the Zimbabwe Dancehall Gig-Sting 2014 which was held on the 8th of November 2014 at Harare City Sports Centre.
“Police would like to make it clear that no one died during the skirmishes that occurred when musicians Soul Jah Love clashed with Seh Calaz,” he said.
He said the case was being investigated. The much touted dancehall duel ended in a fracas after the two artistes clashed on stage.
