- J. Afro’s movies were banned in 2018
- Promotion of violence and airing of unrated materials were some of the reasons for the ban.
DJ Afro is arguably the most popular movie commentator who has been entertaining Kenyans for many years. However, in 2018, his movies were banned by the Kenya Film Classification Board (KFCB) for several reasons.
The KFCB cited the use of vulgar language, promotion of violence, depiction of sexual content, and airing of unrated material as some of the reasons for the ban.
The KFCB is a government agency responsible for classifying films and other audiovisual content in Kenya. They have the authority to ban any content that they deem to be harmful or inappropriate.
In the case of DJ Afro’s movies, the KFCB found that the content was not suitable for public viewing, particularly for children.
The ban on DJ Afro’s movies was met with mixed reactions. Some people supported the ban, arguing that it was necessary to protect children from harmful content. Others criticized the ban, arguing that it was an infringement on freedom of expression.

DJ Afro himself has apologized for the content of his movies and has said that he will try to make his future content more family-friendly. However, it is unclear whether the KFCB will lift the ban on his movies.
The ban on DJ Afro’s movies has been controversial, but it is clear that the KFCB is committed to protecting children from harmful content. It remains to be seen whether the ban will be lifted in the future.
In addition to the reasons cited by the KFCB, there are a few other factors that may have contributed to the ban on DJ Afro’s movies. For example, some people have argued that the movies were banned because they were seen as a threat to the cultural and moral values of Kenya.
Others have suggested that the ban was motivated by political considerations.
