The Malawi Police Service have threatened to arrest those people who are selling a pirated copy of Grace Chinga’s Ndidzaulula album barely few days after her death.
This follows a post by veteran musician Lucius Banda on his facebook page earlier today which reads: “She left this album unreleased. She left three young children. We gathered in huge multitude claiming we loved her. Today someone is selling a pirated copy of the album, and we are buying it. Do we know what we want in life Amalawi?
And speaking at Chinga’s funeral former, former Musicians Union of Malawi (Mum) trustee Wellington Chatepa observed that many musicians were suffering and that they were failing to make ends meet because of piracy.
“Musicians are struggling out there, they sweat to produce songs but there is too much piracy out there and so we call upon people to support artists by buying original copies.”
