ZIMURA is a non-governmental revenue collecting society whose mandate is to protect and promote the rights of music composers, authors and publishers. ---------- *HOT DEALS:* *itel A70 - (128GB, 3GB RAM) $89,* *itel A70 - (256GB, 4GB RAM) $99* *itel P40 (128GB, 4GB), (6000mAh) $99* *itel P40 (64GB, 4G), (6000mAh) $93* *LATEST: itel S24 (128) $124; S24 (256GB) $159* Cash on Delivery in Harare & Bulawayo.

Speaking to the Chronicle, ZIMURA executive director Polisile Ncube-Chimhini said: > Zimura is a non-profit making organisation and does not retain any funds at the end of the year. > We use a percentage of the royalties for our day to day operations and all royalty societies worldwide do the same. > One has to spend money to make money. We need funds to travel, accommodation for our staff when collecting royalties as well as maintaining our offices. > It’s not a secret that there are administrative costs incurred in revenue collection. Chimhini, however, declined to confirm or refute reports that some artists were paid RTGS$3, saying that she was out of office. Meanwhile, Gwenzi called for a change in the make-up of the ZIMURA board. He insisted that young artists should take over from the likes of Albert Nyathi, Pastor Charles Charamba and Bob Nyabinde who are part of the current ZIMURA board. *More: Chronicle* _If you found this article useful_ *Please support Pindula by forwarding to friends and groups*
