The untimely death of Sam Mtukudzi comes at a time when the Zimbabwe Music Awards is campaigning against music piracy, an activity that has killed the local music industry.
A vow by the newly appointed Executive Producer of ZIMA, Carl Joshua Ncube who has been living in the streets in protest against piracy had his forth day of his campaign movement intercepted by the death of Mtukudzi’s son.
Sam who is Mtukudzi’s only son died in a car accident on Monday together with his Sound Engineer Owen Chimhare on their way to Norton.
This writer had a brief interview with Carl on how his anti-piracy campaign was going considering the death of one musician who would have loved to participate.
“it’s so sad we lost one talented young man who was quite promising and his death has caused so much disturbances because we wanted him to be part of this movement where musicians team up with us to curb piracy” ,he said.
Carl will today mark his fifth day protest in the streets and it is of paramount importance that on Monday when Sam died he took a different stunt in the streets of joining the entire nation to mourn his death.
