"This is now becoming a trend, with collection societies in several
African nations simply and rather brazenly carrying on the business of
shaking down businesses for music licensing fees, even beyond the point
of their being legally allowed to do so."

Collection societies are a gravy train, and people who are getting free
money are often reluctant to give it up just because it's not strictly
legal.

Cheers,
