Nash TV exploded onto Zimbabwean screens during the dark Covid lockdown days. The platform gave stranded musicians a digital stage and real cheques. New voices emerged, while forgotten stars found surprising second winds. Tinashe Mutarisi stood at the centre, risking money and reputation for art.
Under his watch, virtual shows became national events, not just livestreams. Therefore, Nash TV didn’t just stream performances. It rewired the local music ecosystem and inspired copycat platforms everywhere.
Tinashe Murarisi quits music and drops all musicians
Now, Mutarisi has stunned fans by shutting down Nash TV’s entertainment operations. In an emotional Instagram statement, he reflected on the journey. He said he had done his part in the entertainment space. From lockdown marathons to lifting young artists, he feels the mission was fulfilled. He expressed pride in the impact Nash TV created for musicians and fans.
However, he stressed that it is time for a new chapter. His focus is shifting fully to entrepreneurship and business building. He also wants to mentor the next generation of Zimbabwean entrepreneurs. Mutarisi promised a detailed Facebook Live soon, explaining everything clearly. For now, he thanked supporters for their love, patience and understanding. He sent special appreciation to the Nash TV team and loyal followers.
Mutarisi the businessman
Away from the cameras, Mutarisi already commands a powerful business empire. He is founder and chairman of Nash Paints, Zimbabwe’s leading paint manufacturer. Under Nash Holdings, he expanded into furniture, media and other ventures. His companies have invested millions in new plants, jobs and innovation.
He has also become known for bold philanthropy and uplifting hustlers. So, closing Nash TV is not retirement. Instead, it marks a strategic pivot by a restless, ambitious entrepreneur.
