Wasafi’s Harmonize not so Msafi after all

Tanzanian hitmaker Rajab Abdul Kahali alias Harmonize on Wednesday attacked a Journalist at Central Police Station in Dar Salaam after he attempted to videotape him. Harmonize who is facing drug abuse claims, is said to have smashed the journalist’s camera before running to the station’s waiting room. Shortly after the incident, the popular musician is reported to have recorded a statement before driving off. Dar es Salaam regional commissioner, Paul Makonda, had summoned Harmonize to present himself to any nearby police station after a photo of him smoking a substance the Tanzanian authorities suspect to be bhang went viral.

Considering that Tanzanian authorities are known to hold a tough stance on drug use and abuse, it will be interesting to see what unfolds from Harmonize’s case. True to Makonda’s threats, police caught up with Harmonize and summoned him to answer to drug-related questions. That proved to be the beginning of his woes as Tanzania outlet Bongo 5 reported the singer turned hostile moments after his arrest.

The journalist’s camera was broken in the scuffle. Having arrived back in the county from a South African tour, Harmonize was almost immediately summoned by police to respond to the allegations. His social media activity did little to help his case as a photo of himself blowing smoke out of his mouth attracted the attention of Tanzania authorities. Well   Social did come back to bite him as once you post you go public.
