Sungura star Alick Macheso has denied claims that he stopped businessman Wicknell Chivayo from giving vehicles to members of his Orchestra Mberikwazvo band. Macheso said reports circulating on social media suggesting he had blocked the gifts were false and urged the public not to associate the band with information that did not come from its official representatives.

A bitter family dispute has erupted over the future of the legendary Khiama Boys brand, with the widow of late sungura music icon Nicholas Zakaria accusing a nephew of taking control of the group's legacy without the family's approval.
