Kwaito legend Eugene Mthwethwa has chained himself to a pole inside South African Music Rights Association offices in Braamfontein demanding his royalties.
The member of legendary kwaito outfit Trompies who started his sit-in around 1pm on Thursday said he was prepared to sleep at the organisation's reception until his issues and other artists' royalties were sorted out. “I have decided to stage a sit in at Samro because I am tired of writing emails and going to meetings. For the past two years they have been saying they are investigating and rectifying. It has been more than six years dealing with this issue with Samro telling me about undocumented music. I’m asking them what has led to that music not being undocumented?”

Even if someone can commit suicide they will still drag the process
The guy once worked in President Zuma office, it means he was there not to push the interests of artists but his own. Now he is out of favour, then he chained himself though it's a worthy fight.
Vic_Moyo To be South African and black 😔
they must pay the man
The entire kalawa jazz should be there with him 🔗 and all.... Oyeah
It's such a shame he's been fighting this alone when a lot of other artists are in the same boat. Glad Ringo is also in the fight now
