Police officers, some in plain clothes, stormed the stage surrounding Winky D before dragging him offstage in front of stunned revellers moments after he performed his song, Ibotso which talks about corruption and how the country's elite is abusing public funds.Unconfirmed reports from social media are pointing fingers at Zanu PF youth leaders who are being accused of orchestrating the shutdown of the show.

The @PoliceZimbabwe should be the first to know that this is exactly the sort of provocative policing at a peaceful community recreational event that can easily trigger an Arab Spring Moment. In any event, Winky D is an artist, leave him alone to entertain his fans!"
