Last week social media was thrown into a furore after the release of ZIMURA’s (Zimbabwe Music Rights Association) revised public broadcast fees for venues and locations that play music for the public. Many observers seemed to misunderstand the purpose these fees played and also why ZIMURA was threatening to fine venues.
Dan and Phil managed to contact Mr. Albert Nyathi – Chairman of The ZIURA board and Ms. Polisile Ncube-Chimhini – the Executive Director of ZIMURA to get some answers to questions that many artists and observers had.
Fellow comrades and non-receivers of vehicular gifts, the 2 Broke Twimbos are back once again to knock down global ignorance with the sledgehammer of podcasting! This week, the pair discuss the terrible tragedy of the Kariba Ferry, the ongoing InDrive wars between Harare City Council and e-hailing service users, Thomas Mapfumo beefing with his nephew, why we’re still going to have to go through the humiliation ritual of applying for visas, and how to tell if this was written by AI or not. Enjoy!
