Other musicians such GoodLuck’s lead singer and Majozi went on to speak about the effect that the money that was owed had on their music life. The issue has recently been largely felt by some musicians because of the lockdown rules and the fact that the artists will not be performing at concerts for a while. This is where organisations such as SAMRO work hard for the artists so that they could survive the lockdown.
