A new video posted online has people talking across Kenya and Tanzania. The video shows Kenyan comedians Mokaya and Michael Mjaka Mfine pretending to be Tanzanian President Samia Suluhu Hassan. The clip spread very fast on social media, and many users found it funny and surprising.
But soon after the video went viral, rumors started flying. Some people claimed that Kenyan content creators might be banned from entering Tanzania or Zanzibar. According to the rumors, the ban could happen because the comedians made jokes and skits about the country’s leader.
The names being mentioned the most are Mokaya, Michael Mjaka Mfine, and another popular online comedian known as Malcolm “Ni Mwecheche.” These three are well known for their funny videos, and they have a big following on social media.
So far, no official statement has come from the Tanzanian government or any authority in Zanzibar. There is no confirmed ban, and no one has said for sure that the comedians will be stopped from traveling.
Even without any official confirmation, the rumors have already caused a lot of debate online. Many people are defending the comedians, saying they were just trying to make people laugh. Others feel that making fun of a president might be going too far.
