true jit: the bhundu boys plc

Actually the house wasn't liquidated. In fact it was rented out to a new tennant. He only used our money and made the boys believe that The Bhundu Boys plc had bought a house. Yet he knew all along what he was playing at. Myself and Kenny suspected this from the start.

He also told us that we were owners and employees of a company, yet none of us received letters from the Inland Revenue, even though we all had National Identity cards. We were introduced to company auditors whom we only met the day the house was bought. It is believed that the auditors were never paid, and so they never bothered to do the books for our company.

We opened the Bhundu Boys band account after striking the deal with Warner Brothers. Gordon and I, Rise Kagona, were the main signatories. However, after we lost the house, the cheque book also stopped coming my way for me to sign, even though cheques from our gigs were still deposited in our bank. I don't know how he convinced the bank to draw money without my signature; I still don't understand how we could have owned the house, without any title deeds written in our name. The more I asked these questions, the more the tension and the mistrust grew amongst us.

I later found out that Gordon Muir sold the house, seven years after the day we were booted out. meaning that it never got liquidated in the first place, and what I warned my boys was true. Today whenever he is asked about the house he stummers and says it is his word against mine, because most of my boys are no more. He is avoiding to answer the truth about how he swindled the Bhundu Boys, just like any other thief who is caught red-handed.
