King Monada to appear in court

Well-known South African singer, songwriter, and record producer, King Monada will face the music over a fee refund issue in court.

Khutso Steven Kgatla, aka King Monada, has been in a dispute with Limpopo Legends Awards organizer Mphoza Mashabela for allegedly refusing to pay back booking fees for the awards ceremony despite twice not pitching.

King Monada and Mphoza are to appear in the Ritavi magistrate’s court in Nkowankowa, Tzaneen, on September 2.

Mphoza told the publication he doesn’t want to disclose much information.

“This is a straight forward matter because I paid him and [he] never pitched. I then gave him a second chance and [he] still didn’t pitch so he left me with no choice but to go to court and demand my money from him. What this guy did to me broke my heart as my reputation as an organizer was tainted by his unprofessionalism.

“He isn’t my enemy, I just want my money back. I can no longer chase him because I need to clear my name of the madness he created by not pitching at the ceremony. That’s not how we do business and I have fans who attend my events including the Limpopo Legends Awards. I’m happy the court date is here. I’ll meet him in court.”

The publication has approached King Monada for comment. Any update will be included once received.

Earlier this year the publication received a copy of King Monada’s notice of intention to defend himself against the letter of demand.
