Our friends from abroad have attracted the wrath of the state for openly supporting our struggle for freedom. Today international icon @YvonneChakaX2 was deported from Uganda. Whatever reasons the security agencies give, we all know the regime is afraid of her SONGS OF FREEDOM!

The Police Spokesperson confirmed reports of her deportation stating that Yvonne lacked a work visa. She had traveled to Uganda on an ordinary visa but she was planning to perform for the new year celebrations.
