Zimbabwe Music Rights Association (ZIMURA) is supporting gospel musician Fungisai Mashavave in a legal dispute involving a claim of copyright exploitation by the Intotal Band. The disagreement centres on the band’s continued public performance of songs that belong to other artists.
According to reporting, the issue is linked to the Ecobank Legends Night initiative, under which the band performs material from other musicians. Intotal Band faces legal scrutiny over its role in performing those works publicly without authorisation, as Mashavave alleges.
While both outlets describe ZIMURA’s backing of Mashavave, they focus on the same core elements: the existence of an ongoing dispute, ZIMURA’s position as the rights body involved, and the allegation that the band’s performances fall within a broader pattern of copyright misuse. The coverage frames the matter as part of enforcement around music rights and public performance permissions under the event’s programming.
