QFM Suspends Playing South African Music
Radio QFM has blacked out the playing of South African music effective today, April 17th in protest against xenophobic attacks on foreign national taking place in that country.
Managing Director Asan Nyama has explained that the move to black out South African music indefinitely which took effect at 06:00 hours is in solidarity with Africans who have fallen victim to xenophobic attacks in Durban and KwaZulu Natal province.
Mr Nyama states that considering that QFM has a listenership not only in Zambia, but across the globe via live internet streaming and satellite platform, the station feels duty bound to voice out in protest at the attacks on foreign nationals by South Africans by stopping the air play of their music.
He adds that considering it is not the first time that foreign nationals are being targeted in xenophobic attacks in South Africa, there is need to send a clear message to South Africans that violence on fellow Africans negates African unity which the continent’s forefather fought for.
Mr Nyama has called for the need for Africans to co-exist as brothers and sisters regardless of whichever country they come from.
He says QFM regrets the deaths of five people who have so far died in xenophobic attacks in South Africa, calling for an end to such brutal murders.
Mr Nyama has further called on the South African government to arrest the situation before more precious lives are lost, and bring the perpetrators of such heinous crimes to book.

Kiki. it is amazing. It is only in zambia where people can take issues happening in a foreign country so serious where as the eocnomic collapse within their own borders is ignored. Why cant you zambians be this angry when your economy is in tatters? It is simply because the poor economic situation brought about by the pf has made you so reliant on foreign nations such that you even start demonstrating in your own countries over issues that should not affect you. Poverty indeed is a disease that can affect the brains. The day you stop voting foolishy and put the UPND party in power is the day when you will gain a self sustaining economy which you will have the confidence in and avoid becoming economic migrants. You think south africa cares when they know you are dependent on them? They know governments like the pf are so useless kiki

In tatters by your standards! You are parroting what you think will sell your master. You are dead wrong. Your song and contributions have become boring and irritating but because you are assured of freedom of speech continue and we shall also continue to put you and your fellow crusaders of hate in our prayers. May God deliver you.

kiki mune you can continue shouting no to xenophobia. that wont help solve anything. We in the UPND prefer to solve problems in order to ensure that they do not recurr. We prefer a more long term based approach which involves dealing with the root cause which to us is economic mismanagement by the PF. Stay strong, in 2016 we will show you what governence is

Some comments are totally misplaced. Campaigning on the wrong platform. Sadly though, I have also seen one lost soul blaspheming even when the subject matter is far from religious.
