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.
Brand new pod, Dan & Phil have a whole year's worth of events to discuss that happened in one week. From jailed podcasters to problematic rappers to ChatGPT's new native image generation and discussions about copyright, there's a lot to digest. Enjoy!
