Makhadzi proves she won’t be settling for less after a mild altercation with an event organizer.
Speaking to Daily Sun, the singer revealed how an event organizer named Sammy Mashita offered her a chicken feed to perform at Marula Festival on the 9th of April, Saturday.
On Saturday, she had initially pulled out of the fest as she announced on Facebook with a message which says: “To all my fans who bought tickets for the Marula Festival in Phalaborwa, it’s sad that I won’t perform. This is because of the service provider. He is refusing to give me my balance. I’m sorry to all my fans.”
Explaining her side of the story to the aforementioned publication, she said:
“I was supposed to be in the US at the Kids Choice Awards but I decided to cancel them for this event, mainly because it was a home event. Also, I’ve always performed at this event and I’d never experienced any issues. But this time around I was wrong and the event organiser, Sammy, did not even check my availability. He did not even seek permission to put my face on the poster. Out of love and respect for my fans and province, I did not question him about this.”
“The service provider refused to pay the full amount. He was offering close to nothing compared to my quote. Eventually, he rudely told me to take it or leave it. I stood my ground and refused to be exploited by him. As a result I posted on Facebook and informed my fans about my plight,” she added.
Makhadzi later performed at the show, as she reached an agreement with Sammy.
