Help remembering 80s song

Kersh · 2004-05-19 08:40:47

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.
