Do you think they became agitated by your question about Haile Selassie because they didn't know about him, or because they saw him as symbolising a rival religious movement (Rastafarianism).
What is the attitude of the Zimbabwean authorities towards Rastafarianism? I know they welcomed Bob Marley at the Zimbabwe Independence celebrations, but I read that after that they didn't want Rastafarianism and reggae to become widespread in Zimbabwe.
