Murumba Pitch, which originated in Limpopo, was established in 2012 by Venda music producer and rapper Chifo Charge who then handed over the reins to its current leader, Emmanuel Mathye, a year later.
Duo Emmanuel Mathye and Innocent “Maeywon” Mongolo have made their mark in the amapiano genre, with songs such as Wena Dali, Hamba Juba, Uyeke to name a few.
News of Murumba Pitch’s separation sent shock waves across social media.
A statement from Murumba Pitch read: “It is with great sadness to announce that after a meeting held on March 6 (Innocent and Emmanuel) reached a mutual decision to terminate their partnership and contractual relationship with immediate effect. This decision marks a new chapter and both parties are respectively committed to move forward independently focusing on new opportunities and future endeavours. Both parties have agreed that a formal media statement would be released to inform the public of this development. Additionally, the parties will be working together to ensure a fair and amicable settlement of the division of business interests in the Murumba Pitch Brand. We thank you for your understanding and expect your co-operation during this transition”. — TshisaLive
