BY FREEMAN MAKOPA AUSTRALIA-BASED RnB/Soul/Afro Pop artiste Mufaro Maringe, who has been trending on Aussie radio stations with his latest song Moove II which features renowned American producer Solyd the Plug, has disclosed that it’s never easy to do music on foreign soil, especially in Australia where the industry may not be as sizeable as in other markets. “It’s definitely not as easy as some of us make it look, that’s for sure! But just like any other career in life, you have to work hard to achieve success and as a creative person, you really have to have your own personal definition of success! Doing music on foreign soil is hard work for sure, especially in Australia where the industry may not be as sizeable as other markets, but the talent pool truly overflows. I think with the right amount of hard work, exposure and support, you can make a decent profit and even afford to make music or entertainment your full-time gig, I’ve seen many artistes here do exactly that. “But the COVID pandemic has really exposed where the arts sit on the priority list of those in power, so it’s been saddening to see some of my peers lose out on so much work this year. Either way, we push on and keep making music and keep entertaining the people,” he said. The Girl hitmaker told NewsDay Life & Style that he was lucky that his music was gaining international recognition, adding that opening up shows for touring artistes strengthened his career. “I am a musical artiste, currently living in Melbourne Australia. Up until last year I lived in Brisbane (about 2 000km North), where I feel my career sort of began, dating back to early 2010, when I was part of a group called RAWR Entertainment. “I have been very lucky to have released music that is heard around the world and to have performed with a decent mix of national and international artistes, to have opened shows for other touring artists like Jah Prayzah, ExQ, Sani Makhalima, Oliver Mtukudzi, Nutty O and Nasty C to name a few. In Brisbane I had a band called “The Barehouse” and together we crafted an amazing set of high energy, live music that saw us play to various sized crowds including a couple of festivals and sell out shows. I am always grateful for The Barehouse and can attribute a lot of my career success to them.” Digital marketer and content creator by profession, Maringe revealed that his greatest challenge has been to make music that resonates with the Australian market and his native country: “The greatest (and also most rewarding) challenge of my journey has been connecting with people! Music is a powerful tool in connecting with people everywhere and sometimes that can really be hit or miss. This all plays into living in the diaspora and wanting to make music that resonates with both the country you are in, and your people back home. Australia and Zimbabwe are very different when it comes to musical tastes, so I’m really working to find that sweet spot for everybody,” he added. Maringe said his first breakthrough was when he and his band won a competition in Brisbane c

ACTING Water and Sewerage Authority (WASA) CEO Kelvin Romain has said he is interested in serving in the position permanently.

He spoke at a news conference at the Desalination Company of TT's (Desalcott) office in Point Lisas on Monday.

The conference was held to update the public about the planned shutdown of Desalcott's Point Lisas plant from October 16-24.

During a meeting of the Standing Finance Committee of the House of Representatives on October 13, Public Utilities Minister Marvin Gonzales said Government is expecting progress on restructuring WASA and is awaiting updates from the authority's board of commissioners.

"It is believed that in 2024, a lot of strides and progress will be made."

He reminded MPs that WASA's board is responsible for implementing the restructuring.

Gonzales did not want to speculate on how that would proceed.

Last July, at a news conference at his office in Port of Spain, Gonzales said Cabinet had approved a transformational plan for WASA.

Gonzales said the report of a Cabinet subcommittee laid in Parliament found a past allocation of $2 billion to the authority did not result in any transformation. The report predicted the further decline of WASA if the status quo remained.

Asked whether he hopes still to be CEO when WASA's restructuring is complete, Romain replied, "All I could say is that I applied for the job."

He was unable to give any details of what the restructuring would involve.

"I fall within that restructuring."

Romain hinted that the first place where restructuring could happen at WASA "is at the executive level."

He estimated that the total staff at WASA, including executives, is approximately 4,600 people. Romain said there is no specific number on the table for the total workforce at a restructured WASA.

"Assessments are being made."

Romain said because WASA's facilities are mostly manual, it needs a large labour force to operate and maintain them. He hinted that a greater use of technology could change that scenario.

The legitimacy of appointments of three police officers to the rank of Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) have been called into question by Opposition Leader Kamla Persad-Bissessar on Friday, as she referred to the voiding of former acting police commissioner McDonald Jacob's appointment.

At a media briefing at her Charles Street, Port of Spain office, Persad-Bissessar said there were unresolved issues pertaining to the appointment of DCPs Erla Christopher and Joanne Archie.

Referring to Thursday’s ruling by Justice Nadia Kangaloo who said acting DCP appointments must be approved by the Parliament, Persad-Bissessar said the ruling voided Christopher and Archie's appointments.

"Now that Mr Jacob is gone, Madam Christopher and Madam Archie they are also gone. Why? Because their notifications never came to Parliament and were never approved by the Parliament.

"Who is heading the police service? All the top officers are gone. Who is looking after the role and function filled by Erla Christopher or DCP Archie? Who is dealing with investigations at that level that was led by DCP Jacob?"

She said these developments were cause for concern given the increasing level of crime in TT and warned that this could also lead to an influx of lawsuits against the State from people who were arrested or detained during the period of Jacob's appointment.

"If they (DCPs) received payments at a higher rate because it's a higher position they were serving in, are they going to pay it back to the government?

"What happens for people arrested and charged under the health regulations? What happens to them? You will get a flurry of cases where they will allege that the arrest was unconstitutional because the person holding office didn't have the authority."

She said in common-law jurisdictions, a de facto officer could be appointed to carry out normal operations of an organisation, but similar provisions were not available in criminal jurisdictions where people were arrested.
