Message: [QUOTE="Shamiso, post: 83281, member: 160"] ZIMURA just fired back at rumor merchants, and receipts followed. The association said ex-members and non-members keep spreading false claims, which pushed a public response. Deputy director Henry Makombe urged members to raise issues through social media, radio, and podcasts, and he promised direct replies. He said the Board of Directors holds authority to act for the association between general meetings. Property chatter took center stage. Viral posts claimed a whole Avondale building belonged to ZIMURA. The association said only two small flats sat on its books, and those units no longer fit growing operations. Management described the premises as run-down, with staff squeezed into makeshift spaces, even kitchen areas. Article 41 got flagged as the legal backbone. Leadership said that the clause empowers the board to decide on asset disposals without prior member consultation. A board committee handled the sale process with one purpose in mind: securing a standalone head office with real office space and a proper boardroom. Reporting came later. The transaction, according to Makombe, reached members during the AGM on 22 October 2025. The message emphasized good faith, with proceeds earmarked for reinvestment into the association’s future. The stance framed the move as housekeeping for growth, not a cash grab. Pushback drew legal heat. ZIMURA claimed some actors seem to be paid to smear the organization. Legal action started against defamatory content, and ZRP investigations are underway. The association closed with its core pitch, protecting composers’ rights and delivering fair compensation.
