Michael Machiwona, the founding director of Naiza Boom, has addressed allegations made by four former members of his group – Terrence Chirinda (Jatiwero), Yvonne Chirowa (Vovo), Myron Muswe (Ozemwa), and Enlight Muzira (Netsai).
These former members left the group after nine years, citing low salaries and unprofessional behaviour by Machiwona.
He said "Kumashure kwese uko pasati patanga kuita madhiri emota, mari dzataiwanza kutambira like kuma range kuma200, ma300. But last year, ndopatai panana dzinenge dzasara kana tatenga mota.
