Don't worry in south africa that is allowed, abo Phuzekhemesi,Shwi nomthekhala,Brown dash,Zahara etc they were scammed and no cares

“Withheld” make it seem like it’s seating somewhere of which I don’t think so.

From 1969? What are the musicians doing about this? Are they not on Twitter, did they not see this tweet? Or they are only focusing on their fame & 'fans'? Majority of them did not go to varsity, they don't respect their industry, so institutions like SAMRO will cheat them...

There is not a day which passes without a report of a huge theft!

Banna🤔. Can they release these money & give Mahotella Queens their due while still alive bathong 🎤🎤

Chineke!!!😳😳 Daylight robbery of our artists... Nooooo

This was obvious given the state of our past musicians financially.

Let PP Mkhwebane investigate...

Not surprised there,😔

No wonder nobody(musician) in south Africa has ever received 1million in one performance y'all abusing our artists

Thieves don't protest against other thieves.

Monopoly

When we talk about the need to dismantle these Apartheid era institutions, you get apologist who say it's 'reverse racism' or 'let's move on!'. Nazo! We can't fix systemic issues as individuals, this is just a microcosm of our society's ills.

I really hope SAMROMusic burns to ashes... I know where it's located.

When we tackle real issues in S.A. Like CliftonBeach saga et alia they keep quite. SAMRO will deal with them n we keeping quite as well.

The article emphasis a Lot on 'Black Musicians' throughout, as if it's suggesting there are other organizations whites use/that whites don't experience the same issue. If only it was more elaborative.

Criminal syndicate jst like they exploit pple in mining, banking, acting & evry othr industry

Julius_S_Malema EFFSouthAfrica would probably handle this swiftly 🤞🏾

Shocking and dispicable. Where is the justice?

simaxis Nothing is left untouched not a single thing has not been looted by our corrupt government

Yeses! SAMROMusic 👀

SAMRO 👀

Ah ah ah That is someone's bread out there.

The SABC owes about R500m of rolyaty contributions from about ten years ago.

Benji_Seitlhamo Am I surprised ? NO. They must cough up every penny they have withheld

Black musicians only? Come on, we've known for years that SAMRO operates as a scam & you're not properly remunerated by them.

Been known for decades as far as I know...why has nothing being done about it?

GOATeDigital Tsho 😿

This should not be tolerated organisation above state entities and who does not want to be audited? These apartheid entities must be broken up

Gates_Baloyi Crooks enriching themselves ...At some point they claimed to have “ invested off shore”

Black people; Where is the outrage!!!

Bathini18 “Could have” or they have?

maggsnaidu I wonder if a sheep is going to be slaughtered for this?

PayBackTheMoney

Daylight robbery this 🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️

FraudWatchZA This needs serious investigation. Our musicians had been struggling and we often get left with a burden to bury them in extreme poverty and sickness, all because of things like this? We need to get to the bottom of the issue.
