LANGA MAVUSO SAYS PROMOTER OWES HIM AND HIS TEAM

The Sunday Blues hitmaker took to Twitter to slam the curator a second time as he had asked for payments in May after the show was held on the same month.

At the time, The Beautiful Ones – the contemporary jazz, live music & art intelligence agency behind the show – released a statement explaining the delayed payments.

“It’s funny that after 3 months since this statement was made no payment has been made to myself or the vendors. More than R100k is still owed to us. SIVU Siwisa,” he starred in a number of tweets.

MUSICIAN SAYS HE WAS STILL MOURNING

The Mvula singer explained that he was not ready to get back on stage as he was still mourning his ex-partner, chef Lentswe Bhengu-Mafoko, who passed away in March this year. However, Langa says he honoured the booking because he knew Sivu.

“I wasn’t ready to go back on stage and do meet and greet dinners in my time of mourning and grief but I trusted Sivu because I knew her from UCT days at Bremner during FMF and she dated a friend so I thought I was in safe hands.

“I wouldn’t have been bothered if she didn’t preach principle and integrity over her mistakes. She isn’t accountable or dependable. I hope she can do better in the future and communicate because doing this on social isn’t my thing,” he wrote.
