Lerato Kganyago And Bathu’s Theo Baloyi At War

Radio and TV personality Lerato Kganyano finds herself in a sour business fallout with a sneaker company, Bathu. Kganyago is suing and set to take legal actions against the famous sneaker brand. Bathu, which is owned by Theo Baloyi and Lerato Kganyago have reached an end to a business arrangement but not all parties involved are happy with the decision reached.

Kganyago who was named a ambassador by the sneaker brand for a period of 12 months, is reportedly demanding R315k remainder of the R600k from Bathu sneaker company. This comes after the brand abruptly terminated her contract and would not pay what is owed to her. Kganyago feels blindsided by the decision that the company resorted to without any prior communication to her.
