Video: Trombies star Eugene Mthetwa chains himself in pension protest

 

Eugene Mthetwa, member of the legendary trombies chained himself to SAMRO offices in protest of R300 000 pension. Mthetwa claims he has been a member of the entity for 30 years therefore his pension should be an enormous amount. Southern African Music Rights Organisations (SAMRO), are yet to respond to Mthethwa’s grievance.

In videos doing the rounds on social media, Eugene can bee seen sitting at a table with singer and EFF member Ringo Madlingozi. They are both demanding their grievances be heard. Eugene also shared the videos and pics of himself chained to the pole on his Instagram account. Eugene said:

“We are here. They will see how they remove me. They have to answer the questions I’ve raised. The white CEO Mark Rosin, somebody who was exploiting artists, is the same person they’ve brought to come and get his pension funds from SAMRO. When our own members don’t have pension funds, don’t have anything.”

SAMRO CEO Mark Rosin confirmed that Eugene had raised a complaint regarding the calculation of his royalties. However, his case was never really looked into till today. Mthethwa joined forces with Soul music King, Ringo Madlingozi to voice out their grievance.

The protest is set to attract attention as Eugene Mthetwa claims he would not leave the building without being allocated his pension dues. It is unclear which method was used to calculate the pension. Mthetwa and Ringo  believe there is rife corruption at the SAMRO.

 

Tweeps through mixed comments abou the issue. Check them out below;

 

“Eugene Mthethwa and @ndiyagodola are STILL at SAMRO. We’re going on day two for a simple simple matter! @the_dti do something!”

“This is so sad honestly, they are making it look like it’s a bearable but it’s unacceptable. It says a lot about @NathiMthethwaSA department when it comes to protecting people in the arts industry. This government so we must all chain ourselves to get service and answers?”

 

@NathiMthethwaSA do something about this, these are South African artists and they must be protected by all means and that’s the future of their children that SAMRO is destroying.”

 

Clearly the situation is tense at the SAMRO offices, but will they manage to resolve the issue mainly? Let’s wait and watch
