ZIMURA blows apart In Total band’s US$150 licence defence as Zimbabwean artists revolt

ZIMURA has backed Fungisai and challenged In Total’s licence defence as Zimbabwe’s escalating music copyright battle draws in leading artists.

The move comes amid growing tensions over the use of music in the country, with artists and industry bodies calling for clearer licensing rules.

In Total, a popular band, had defended its US$150 licence fee, but ZIMURA’s criticism has sparked a broader debate among Zimbabwean musicians.

The dispute highlights the need for a comprehensive copyright framework to protect artists while ensuring fair use of music.
