“…To a large extent, reported legal injustices complaints in Tanzania have include 'fake' or fabricated cases called 'kesi za bandia' or 'kesi za kubambikiwa' in Kiswahili. In 2021, the Minister for Home Affairs Simba Chawene warned some police officers who fabricate legal cases against individuals following several complaints from different individuals about legal injustices by some disloyal police officers (Joseph, 2021). In another 2018 incidence, the late Augustino Mrema, then chairman of the opposition Tanzania Labour Party, and chairman of the Parole Board and former Minister for Home Affairs, complained about a concocted case in 1996 against him (Ayo, 2018).…”

This article applies John Rawls’ theory of ‘justice as fairness’ to analyse the evocation of complaints in popular songs1, songs as one among different efforts against injustice. Later, interviews with composers of the songs followed to prove the interpreted meaning from the content of text data in the analysed songs. Two specific bongo flava songs: ‘Jumba Bovu’ by Mac Dizzo and ‘Jela’ by LWP, were analysed to find how they address the issue. Findings show that generally, the two songs condemn the weakness of justice system, that it is biased against the poor/those with low socio-economic status.
