According to reports from Tanzania, authorities have asked Zari to stop, with immediate effect, organizing and hosting her extravagant Zari White Parties.
This comes at a time when the local national arts council (locally known as Baraza la Sanaa la Taifa),which is responsible for the revival, promotion and development of arts in the country, determined that her parties did not meet the required standards to take place in Tanzania.
According to a Dar-es-Salaam newspaper, Zari was told not to plan or hold another All White Party after the last party failed to meet the council’s minimum standards.
Before the election of Dr. John Pombe Magufuli, Zari and her Tanzanian singing boyfriend, Diamond Platnumz enjoyed a lot of benefits and immunity from the state as Platnumz was a personal friend of President Kikwete.
