Zimbabwean police fired tear-gas shells and rubber bullets to disperse thousands of rioting reggae fans in Bulawayo on Saturday night after reggae singer Gregory Isaacs cut short a concert, Zimbabwe newspapers reported Sunday. It was the second time in a week that police in Zimbabwe were called to quell unrest related to an Isaacs performance. On Jan. 31 in Harare, the Zimbabwean capital, Isaacs didn’t show up for a concert, and police were called in to keep order among the 40,000 angry fans.
