Musicians Union of Malawi (MUM) members have given Malawi Broadcasting Corporation (MBC) up to May 20 to pay their loyalties amounting to K153 million accrued from 2016 or risk being banned from playing their music.

Speaking at a press conference, chairperson of Copyright Society of Malawi (Cosoma) task force Anthony Dumba confirmed giving MBC the said ultimatum in an interview Nation Publications Limited.

Dumba said the action follows several attempts the musicians through MUM have previously made to have the State broadcaster pay them their loyalties.
