Swangz Avenue has come out to defend itself over the accusations of deletion of politically charged posts by their artist, Azawi.
The posts, which criticized corruption by public servants, had been eliminated on the day of the #March2Parliament demonstrations, sparking reactions from netizens.
Azawi had just lately posted a number of messages vital of corruption. These posts had been deleted on the identical day that youth protests towards corruption had been going down.
Among the many deleted posts was one which immediately addressed President Museveni’s warning towards the deliberate demonstrations.
In it, Azawi wrote, “You’ve arrogantly refused to work on points that have an effect on 78% of this inhabitants,….. I hope it received’t be too late whenever you ultimately determine to hearken to us.” This publish, together with others, has since been faraway from her social media accounts.
Julius Kyazze, the Chief Government of Swangz Avenue, has addressed the state of affairs, saying that the document label doesn’t intervene with the non-public beliefs or public communications of their artists.
Kyazze acknowledged that he was unaware of the precise posts in query and emphasised that it was not a directive from Swangz Avenue to take away them.
What I do know, it’s not a directive from Swangz that ‘Put this down’. Azawi has been vocal on issues that she follows; soccer and social points. And we by no means get between what the artiste thinks and what they need.
We aren’t a choir. So long as you personal what you talk. We will at all times information, however we are able to’t impose.
