Zodwa Wabantu was a no-show after receiving R13,000 booking fee
Zodwa Wabantu has been asked to make a refund after a no-show.
Stenga Shabangu, owner of Stengas Place in Daveyton, Ekurhuleni, claimed that the popular socialite was absent at Stengas Place on Saturday, 7 September after receiving payment.
The club owner told the Daily Sun that he paid Zodwa R13,000, but she refused to show up, which sparked violence at the event. People were disappointed.
Stenga said he is hurt and wants his money back.
“I’m hurt she did this to me. What hurts me more is she didn’t communicate with us that she won’t be available,” Stenga said.
“She was the main act. I lost a lot of money that day as many people came, stood outside and said they would buy tickets only when they see her. Unfortunately, she didn’t show up.”
“What’s confusing is that she has other bookings. Why can’t she use that money and pay me?”
However, Zodwa Wabantu told Daily Sun that she won’t pay back the money.
“I’m an ancestor’s child and when money comes in, there’s no way I can give it back because I have asked for it from my ancestors,” Zodwa said.
“He must give me a new date then. I’ll come to perform for the same amount. I didn’t attend his event because unfortunately it was on the same day as another gig that paid me well. I thought I would make it to his event but failed,” she added.
