Nisha Ts Mourns NashTV Shutdown: A Mixture of Sadness and Gratitude
Businessman Tinashe Mutarisi’s company, Nash Holdings has announced the immediate closure of its entertainment operations under the NashTV brand.

In light of this transition, all previously managed artists have been notified, and Nash Holdings has pledged to support them as they forge their own paths.
“While stepping away from direct management, will continue to offer guidance, help them build their own recording studios and secure new professional managers, and we ask for your support as we refocus on mentoring entrepreneurs and growing Zimbabwean enterprise,” read the statement.
