ZIMURA under fire as musicians demand fraud convicted executive step down

HARARE – The Zimbabwe Musicians Union (ZIMU) has called on all artists to rally behind them in calling for accountability and the resignation of the ZIMURA board following the fraud conviction of Polisile Ncube Chimhini, the executive director of the organization. At a press conference held earlier this week, Edith WeUtonga, the president of ZIMU and a member of ZIMURA, said Polisile was not fit to be in office and lead ZIMURA. “We need to stand as an organisation for our members and all the musicians who feel there is violation and mismanagement happening at ZIMURA join us at the court of law.

Let’s stand up and save ZIMURA from the hands holding on to it right now,” said WeUtonga. WeUtonga went on to make allegations that ZIMURA is neglecting its rightful members, which is the musician. She said, “The board has failed us, the board was voted in by the musicians and it should look after the interests of the musicians but they are looking after the interests of an executive director whose position does not exist in the union.” In her statements, WeUtonga made it clear that she does not recognise Polisile and strongly advised fellow musicians to join her in the fight against the fraud convicted board member who occupies a non-existing position.
