Chimurenga icon, Thomas Mapfumo was evicted from the house he was renting in Glen Lorne after he failed to pay $1 500.Business Times reports that the owner of the property locked it and reported Mukanya to Borrowdale Police for failing to pay the rentals as agreed. “When he came from his Southerton New Year Show, doors were already locked and he was told that the case had already been reported at Borrowdale Police; he had to seek alternative accommodation in Mt Pleasant,” revealed a well-placed source.
Entertainment Republic director Max Mugaba confirmed the eviction condemning the owner of the property for rushing to conclude the matter.
“Entertainment Republic was acting as event managers; we met with service providers and crafted arrangements acceptable to both parties. It is unfortunate that along the way some reneged on the plans and sought to use the criminal justice system to recover their dues way before they were due. In any case he was supposed to leave the residency on January 8,” Mugaba said. He lashed out at the owner of the properties for failing to abide by the agreement. “The landlord went overboard. How can he lock out people before the agreed time to move out? We are now in the process of resolving the issues around the musician,” Magaba said.
