South African dancer Zodwa Wabantu was banned from performing at the 2017 Harare International Carnival, scheduled from 1-10 September, as a reaction to complaints of indecent exposure alleged by Zimbabwean popular actress Anne Nhira, according to South African news source Times Live
On 29 August 2017, Nhira posted a letter on her Facebook page signed by Zimbabwe’s acting Minister of Tourism and Hospitality Industry Patrick Zhuwao confirming the ban.
