Chimurenga music legend Thomas “Mukanya” Mapfumo has threatened legal action against his nephew Kurai Makore, accusing him of performing his music without authorisation and rejecting claims that the younger musician has been designated as his successor. Mapfumo rejects ‘heir’ claimsThe company also took aim at media reports portraying Makore as the heir to Mapfumo’s Chimurenga music legacy. It said legal proceedings against Makore, promoters and other parties it considers responsible were already underway. Call for copyright educationChimurenga Music Company also appealed to the National Arts Council of Zimbabwe (NACZ) to increase copyright education within the country’s creative industry. Mapfumo’s company said future legal and licensing correspondence should be directed to Warara and Associates Legal Practitioners and his long-time manager Cuthbert Simbarashe Chiromo.
