Even when he doesn’t open his mouth, there is always a group of a people who want to mock him. Take, for instance, the debate triggered by the departure of long-serving Zimbabwe Music Rights Association (ZIMURA) executive director Polisile Ncube-Chimhini. And, in all the debate, someone even had the audacity of throwing First Farai’s name into the mix.
“And, she will be replaced by First Farai,” remarked Kuvheya Kuvheya, the sarcasm quite clear for everyone to see. ZIMURA recently confirmed that Ncube-Chimhini had concluded her tenure after decades at the helm of the music rights body. The development has triggered widespread discussion about leadership accountability, royalty distribution and governance within Zimbabwe’s music industry.
Many members of the public described the change as long overdue. Andre Ruckus welcomed the development, saying, “it was about time.” Similarly, Terrence Nyatsambo questioned the length of Ncube-Chimhini’s leadership. “Thirty years is a long time.

She should have left earlier and made way for others.” Others applauded the ZIMURA leadership team of Gift Amuli, Joseph Garakara and Dereck Mpofu. “Thank you team for making this possible. Honestly, we are happy she’s gone,” said Pacavell Verengera.
“Respect to you and your team, bro. It has been a long time coming.” “Your work will never go unnoticed. We acknowledge your role in calling for accountability.”
