Botswana Musicians Union BOMU has expressed concern over the failure of Copyright Society of Botswana (COSBOTS) to give it an ear. BOMU released a press statement on Friday indicating that COSBOSTS has been sending it from pillar to post since last year October.

BOMU’s concern comes shortly after members of COSBOTS expressed shock and dismay at a leaked document that revealed the amount of money some members and employees of COSBOTS earn. “Like a guilty thief they have been avoiding us since last year October to date.

We had finally hoped to meet them as planned this Friday (August 27, 2021) after almost 12 months of trying to reach out to them, to discuss the concerns of our members and try find resolve to enable a smooth relationship between the Botswana Creative Industry, Botswana Musicians Union and other very important stakeholders.

Rasina added that the fact that COSBOTS cancelled a meeting of such nature in the middle of the night raises eyebrows.
