Dancehall artist Emegy Sylvester Chizanga, popularly known as Freeman, has called off his planned performance in Masvingo, citing escalating political tensions in the run-up to the March 31 protests.

Authorities in Masvingo have heightened security measures following calls for protests led by war veteran Blessed Geza, who has demanded the immediate resignation of President Emmerson Mnangagwa.

A staff member at Caravan Park confirmed the last-minute cancellation, explaining, “The Freeman show at Caravan Park in Masvingo City has been scrapped due to the current political instability. The stage, which was previously set up for the event, is already being taken down. Security forces are on high alert as the planned protests on March 31 approach.”
