NORTON - It has come to our attention at Tuku Music headquarters here that a shameless charlatan is claiming to be Oliver Mtukudzi on Twitter and already enjoying some following. Below is a statement from Oliver Mtukudzi.

The Twitter account (@Oliver_Mtukudzi) is fake in its entirety. It is in no way linked to me, Tuku Music or my arts academy at Pakare Paye Arts Centre.

Should I decide to go on any of the social networks I will advise here on my official website.

My ever supportive fans and friends across the world must ignore the Twitter account with the contempt it deserves.

Not so long ago another impostor claimed on Facebook to be my official Page. Dismiss that too.

The use of my name without my consent is illegal. It is the equivalent of piracy of artistic and intellectual property. My supportive fans and friends must watch out for such impostors.  – Oliver Mtukudzi / tukumusik.com
