"Since yesterday, I can't reach my Tanzanian friends on the phone. I am very worried," she said.
Sho Madjozi then spoke about her love for the country and shared photo proof that she has been a frequent visitor there. The Chale hitmaker, however, sided with the people, asking those in power to listen to the cries of the nations, instead of allegedly switching off the internet.
"What I know is that I love Tanzania so much. I believe that Tanzanians, like all people, have the right to choose their leaders, and also the right to march peacefully without fear or violence. It is not easy to make humble people like Tanzanians find themselves struggling; it means there is something very big," she added.
"For those in power: the world is watching. You can turn off the internet, but you can't turn off the hope to see change. People's prayers should be answered through transformation, not by oppression."
The star further asked the protester not to let their anger consume them and prayed for their safety.
"To those who are protesting, let us not allow our anger to cause us to be violent; violence is their weapon, not ours. Please be safe out there. Tanzania forever," she closed off.
According to The Africa Report, the unrest started during the voting process, when some citizens attacked the officials at polling stations. The Tanzanian military chief reportedly condemned the acts of some protestors.

SA reacts to Sho's message
People did not hold back in sharing their thoughts about the unrest, with some local celebs showing love to the John Cena singer.
Meanwhile, Tanzanians thanked Sho for shining light on their situation.
Msotheblack said:
"If all Tanzanian artists were like you, Tanzania would have been far. Their problem is that when they are called to the parliament, they go to eat with the president, they are given money, they forget their responsibility, like the mirror of the nation. May God accept you so much. When we redeem the country, we will invite you to come and give us a show."
Jeez-de-patriot shared:
"Thank you, sister Shoo. You are the best. Tanzania belongs to Tanzanians."
Domy878 added:
"You should also see here Tanzanian stars like you, there are not many to say this, it is government foolishness, and they have remained silent till today."
