    It is a slow reggae song with the words 'hearing only bad news on radio Africa' ... And it mentions Mozambique and Mugabe. Any ideas? Thanks.

    There is another song the lyrics were:

    It is a sad sad day for a reunion , it is a sad sad day for comiing home.

    I don't know the band.

    It was about a guy going out of prison - it was very popular.
