Controversial ZIMURA "Executive Director" Polisile Ncube-Chimhini has been nominated amongst 50 Most Insipirational Women 2025 award by the Women Corporate Directors Network Zimbabwe of the Institute of Corporate Directors of Zimbabwe. This has sent shock waves in the music circles where its now a common secret that she has been on the wrong side of the law several times and has court cases pending. artists have written to the sponsors of the event Nyaradzo Group of companies and also the organisers requesting that her nomination be revoked. Excerpt as follows: 

"We write to express deep outrage and utmost disappointment at the nomination of Ms. Polisile Ncube for the “50 Most Inspirational Women in Zimbabwe 2025” awards. This honor bestowed upon a convicted fraudster and controversial figurehead of the Zimbabwe Music Rights Association (ZIMURA) is a slap in the face to Zimbabwean musicians and all advocates for justice in our creative industry... 

...This nomination sends a dangerous message: that criminality, deception, and injustice will be rewarded while the hardworking voices of Zimbabwe’s musicians continue to be trampled upon and denied their rightful earnings. It undermines the very notions of corporate governance, leadership, integrity, and true inspiration.

We, therefore, call upon Nyaradzo Group and the Women Corporate Directors Network Zimbabwe to immediately withdraw the nomination of Ms. Polisile Ncube. Let Zimbabwe see that awards celebrate genuine achievement and ethical leadership—not fraud and exploitation. Our artists deserve leaders who uplift, not those who betray and enrich themselves at their expense.

Yours in the fight for justice,

Phillip Chipfumbu
Fred Finto
