Patrick Lee, former CEAN Chairman, responds to allegations of unfair Cinema Practices in Nigeria
In a recent interview with Nollywood on Radio, Lee responded to the claims, providing clarity on the issues raised. Allegations of biased cinema practices surfaced in December 2024, with actress Mercy Aigbe accusing some cinemas of dissuading fans from seeing her latest film, Thin Line. Similarly, actor Femi Branch alleged that certain cinema staff actively promoted select films, sometimes by wearing branded merchandise, instead of maintaining neutrality. A reality TV star turned filmmaker also claimed to have suffered substantial financial losses due to these practices. In his interview, Lee rejected the notion that cinemas gain any benefit from exhibiting bias. He explained that decisions to prioritize certain films are driven by business factors, noting that movies with higher commercial potential are given prime screening slots and access to superior facilities.

'Avoid being stingy, get a lawyer when signing contracts' - Trigmatic tells musicians
Ghanaian artiste Trigmatic has urged musicians in the country to seek legal assistance when signing contracts. Speaking at the African Music Business Dialogue and Music Showcase '25 at the Kwame Nkrumah Mausoleum on March 28, 2025, Trigmatic emphasised that artistes should not be stingy when it comes to securing their careers. He stressed the importance of considering the long-term implications of contracts to avoid future regrets. "When they send you that 40-page contract and you know you can't read it, get a lawyer and stop being stingy. Lawyers don’t just speak English, they also love money. "You need to understand the role you are playing when working on a project and charge accordingly. Also, think long-term when signing contracts. If you sign a contract where a commercial will run for an extended period, you will continue earning royalties whenever it airs. That way, you won’t become a burden to your family," he explained.

Second Republic achievements articulated through music
THAT music has long been a powerful tool for shaping communities, inspiring unity and propagating ideologies that connect people and ground them with the struggles or developments of the era is not new, it is historical. In the days of the liberation war in Zimbabwe, songs or music as an art form served as a vital instrument to communicate nationalist goals, rally support and educate communities about the reasons behind the fight for independence. The tunes, often performed during pungwes, became the voice of the people, conveying hopes, aspirations and the collective desire for liberation. It was a soft way of preaching the liberation gospel to a heterogeneous audience in a soft but sometimes emotive way that led to mass mobilisation. Today, that spirit endures as musicians continue to use music not only to celebrate progress but also to inspire development and patriotism.

South Africa: Winnie Khumalo's Passing a Sad Loss to South Africa's Music Landscape
The Portfolio Committee on Sport, Arts and Culture has noted with deep sadness the passing of the art legend Winnie Khumalo on Tuesday. Ms Khumalo passed away after a short illness at 51. Committee Chairperson Mr Joe McGluwa said Ms Khumalo's passing was a bad start to the year. "Ms Khumalo was a legend. It fills us with great pride that she has left us some good memories of her undeniable artistic abilities. The music industry benefitted greatly from her distinct voice and songwriting ability. The afro-pop music genre is poorer with her passing." Ms Khumalo supported so many legendary artists before she released her own albums, including the likes of Brenda Fassie. Mr McGluwa said this generation of artists should pick up the microphone and never let Ms Khumalo's star dim. The committee sends its heartfelt condolences to the bereaved Khumalo family and friends. "Go well, Ndlovukazi! Go well, Mntungwa. Who would ever forget the song 'Baba kaMdudu," said Mr McGluwa.
