Cops, Arts Council stop play

The play confessor by Vhitori Entertainment which premiered at Anglican Cathedral Hall on Monday 27 June 2011 was forced to stop its run on Tuesday 28 June by the Zimbabwe Republic Police and National Arts Council(N.A.C)

Riot Police accompanied by N.A.C Official acting on instruction from one deadly intelligence agent Nicolas Moyo who masquerades as deputy director of Art council arrived at the Hall fully armed prepared to deal with six innocent actors and its producer Silvanos Mudzvova. They faced no resistance from the cast as information had already been leaked from insiders at art Council that Police were coming.

The animalistic intelligence officer Moyo was annoyed on Tuesday morning when he learnt that Vhitori used Hon Obert Chaurura Gutu as its guest of honor during the opening night of the play. He screamed at the Art council offices that opposition Ministers are being used at Art events instead of those from the ruling party. He swore and threatened to fix Vhitori mainly Silvanos Mudzvova with unspecified action. The source at Art Council was shocked by this and decided to inform Mudzvova.

In order for him to satisfy his personal ego. Moyo used a silly reason and lied to police that the play was being stopped because Vhitori is not registered with Art Council. The regulations and Act of Art Council is very clear that promotional companies and Associations should register.

It should be noted that Vhitori Entertainment is not promoting any artist but its just producing its own show written and produced internally. Mudzvova argues that how can he be a promoter of his own work.

Also note that the copy right and entertainment Act clearly states that any artist is free to perform his/her Art anywhere without seeking permission from anyone (note anyone). The law is quite clear.

Mudzvova is now leaving in fear of Moyo's statements and threats. He said I am concerned that when guardians and custodians of Arts become oppressors of those expressing their Art what will the army and police do then. It is shocking that the Art Council is full of militia and mafia employees who masquerade as Artists during the day and turn to vampires during the night.

Moyo stated his hatrage for Vhitori in 2007 when he caused the arrest of the final push crew at theatre in the Part. He continued and instructed a well known C.I.O manicaland Art Council representative called Ruswa that Vhitori actors should be arrested once they set foot in Mutare and surely it happened. In Bulawayo he called law and order chief superintendent Wasara and Mudzvova was abducted and dumped outside Bulawayo.

Today it is shocking that Moyo with such a history still wants Mudzvova harmed, maimed or killed and he will be satisfied then goes home to sleep with his wife peacefully. Despite the fear we have at the moment we will not rest or stop the play until the nation of Zimbabwe is healed. Our work on Human Rights, democracy and governance will continue Vhitori will reach all corners of the Country despite what detractors and perpetrators of violence like Moyo and his bunch of idiots at Art Council think.

It is high time a spade is called by its name and Vhitori will launch a strong complain to stop any co-operate funding to Art Council starting with Delta. Violators and suppressers of Human Rights should not be supported. Support our campaign "stop delta stop" on facebook as we push for isolation of National Arts Council of Zimbabwe.

It is shocking that Nicolas Moyo once received the J.F Kennedy Award and went to United States right in front of our noses when we should have just informed the United States of who really he is and what treat he is to the Art Industry.

We will expose all evil and secret dealings at Art Council starting now.
