New wave of crackdown against dissenting voices in Zimbabwe

During the past week, the police in Zimbabwe has been cracking down on dissenting voices nad perceived enemies of the state by banning theatre plays. A play by Bulawayo-based playwright Continueloving Mhlanga entitled, The Good President, was banned by the police in Bulawayo which said that it undermines the person and authority of the president. But surelly can one go to such length of trying to suppress the creative prowess of Zimbabwean artists to preserve power.
It is however encouraging to here that the producer of the play Daves Guzha and Mhlanga have vowed to fight the injustice nad help preserve Human Rights in Zimbabwe by continuing with the play.
