ZICCO moves to strengthen business, artist relations

THE Zimbabwe Council of Copyrights (ZICCO) has repositioned itself as a partner to both the business community and artists by aligning its licensing policies with government’s broader cost-cutting reforms.

This follows the council’s announcement of a reduction in licence fees by between 25% and 50%.

ZICCO chief executive officer Tafadzwa Masembura  said the organisation’s latest measures were meant to promote transparency, fairness and sustainability in the creative sector while helping businesses to cope in Zimbabwe’s tough operating environment.
