Central African Republic has placed a ban on songs which encourage men to dump their wives. Radio and television stations have been ordered to stop broadcasting songs.



Communications Minister Fidele Ngoundgika stated that The Central African woman is a key part of the country’s development. Men are allowed to marry up to four wives in the former French colony.
