Zimbabweans Abandons Local music

 ZIMA executive producer, Carl Ncube has expressed disappointment over the lack of support Zimbabweans are showing towards his protest against piracy in support for local music.

Carl reiterated that people are not showing commitment towards this development which only requires one’s signature.

"I am actually disappointed as hundreds of people pass  through as if nothing is going on ,I only require a signature no money is needed",he said

‘Some people are heart less because they are not even concerned about the music industry in this country. Hundreds are passing by but they are just passing through without even taking the issue into consideration’ he added.

With only five days of protesting,600 signatures have been witnessed  and some are showing negative attitude on the music,

"Hatina basa nemusic yemuno haina dhiri" (we are not concerned much about the music in Zimbabwe its not worth listening)
Some people who commended during the signing refused anonymity said," Ngavafe havana dhiri" (Let them die they are unworthy).

The movement does not require any money but just a signature to show that Zimbabweans appreciate the music and support their musicians.

Carl went in the first street on Friday afternoon with the intention to seek people’s support through their signatures on the local music industry

However Carl urged Zimbabweans to support their music rather than going for international music demotivating the local musicians.

The director want a picture of a new era towards the music industry where he is advocating for better music especially for this year’s annual event penciled for 22 May 2010.

ZIMA have been under turmoil for the past 2 years or so but this time it has been handed over to him.

 Mr. Ncube is willing to put the event in a super highway where everyone will be happy about the new era on how the music industry should be handled in Zimbabwe

Music industry has been at the brink of collapse as piracy is increasingly multiplying throughout the nation where the markets and streets are flooded with pirated discs.

Zimbabwe music Rights Association (ZIMURA) has gone under the process to enforce laws towards the music pirates while other music fans have also put on the same shoes with musicians considering the piracy issue,

"Piracy is killing our musicians in Zimbabwe since all their efforts are in vain. Pirates should face stiffer penalties", they said.
