DJ Masomere’s Background and Rise to Prominence
DJ Masomere, whose background includes a teaching position at Ndarama High School in Masvingo, rose to prominence due to his active role as a Master of Ceremony at various Zanu PF rallies. He garnered widespread attention for his energetic performances and catchphrases, including “Jah Prayzah Zvakwana.” His contributions to political events and rallies led to his recognition and popularity among the party’s supporters.
Legal Dispute Over Unpaid Debt
Despite his fame, DJ Masomere found himself embroiled in a legal battle over an unpaid debt related to a Public Address (PA) system and audio equipment he had rented for multiple high-profile Zanu PF events. The equipment was rented from Meldwin-Tech Investments, a company owned by Simbarashe Edwin Mupakamiso. Masomere hired the PA system for 11 rallies but allegedly failed to make full payment.
In his defense, DJ Masomere argued that he should not be held accountable for the debt due to Mupakamiso’s affiliation with Zanu PF. He suggested that both he and Mupakamiso had expected some form of appreciation from the party in the future, making the debt a gesture of gratitude. However, the court ultimately ruled in favor of Meldwin-Tech Investments, ordering DJ Masomere to pay the outstanding debt of US$1,080 plus interest.
