SAMRO’s Gabi Le Roux Claims Most SA Musicians Are Gupta-linked Syndicates. Music producer Gabi Le Roux has made some shocking claims saying that most South African musicians included Arthur Mafokate are doing the best they can along with the Guptas in bringing down SAMRO (Southern African Music Rights Organisation).
According to SundayWorld Gabi is SAMRO’s board member branded the musicians as “rogues”.
“I am sorry to tell you that our music industry is now under siege from a small group of individuals [all with ties to Hlaudi and the former minister] who want to use the Dubai forensic report to topple the Samro board, Moshito board and all other structures, insert themselves, so capturing the South African music industry.
“Essentially, we now have the domination by multinationals on the one side and these rogues on the other side, and it is difficult to tell which grouping is more detrimental to our struggle to have a proper functioning and fair music industry for SA musicians,” he said speaking to the paper.
A case of defamation and crimen injuria against Le Roux has been opened.
“I was totally shattered and quite shocked to see someone that I considered to be my role model in the industry defaming me. The man must just come out and prove all these allegations that I consider defamatory because I have never met the Guptas, Hlaudi or the former minister he is talking about,” he said.
