Shima preferres to look like a brand in anti-alcohol advert

It is not only the mileage that the owner of a jazz joint enjoys. He has admitted he gets paid too for appearing in the fabulous advertisements although he would not disclose how much the Ministry of Trade is paying him for the adverts critics feel  they could have been better-modelled for by musicians and radio DJs.

Indeed the Botswana Musicians Union (BOMU), which looks after the interests of local artists says they are unhappy that no local artist has been invited to enjoy the benefits of appearing in these fabulous adverts, which would serve to brand the musicians, market their albums, and improve their sales in these hard times when local music is not doing so well.
