Mawhoo frowns at defamatory
MaWhoo, real name Thandeka Nontobeko Ngema threatens a music promoter and agent, Edmond “Eddz” Mafokwana with legal action.
The an IsiZulu music sensation took this action after failing to attend the Blouberg Spring Festival in Limpopo on September 28.
According to Sunday World, Eddz was acting as an agent between the event organisers and MaWhoo Entertainment.
He was paid R35,00 to bring Mawhoo to the festival.
The singer revealed that she was not booked for the event, and received no payment, hence n0-show.
The event organiser took to Facebook to drag Mawhoo, and she retaliated by hitting the music promoter.
“I hereby humbly request the promoter by the name of Eddz to immediately cease and desist from spreading false and harmful information about me and my music career,” MaWhoo said in a statement.
“Your actions constitute defamation and are causing harm to my reputation and livelihood.”
“The false statements you have made about me, saying I failed to pitch at the Blouberg Spring Festival in Senwabarwana, Limpopo, are entirely unfounded and malicious.”
The statement reads further: “My team communicates with promoters prior to any event I partake in; therefore, in this case, I was not booked, nor was I paid any deposit.
“I have enclosed proof in reference to the subject. I take pride in my craft and have worked tirelessly to build a reputable name in the music industry.
“Your slanderous comments and actions are damaging my reputation and causing emotional distress, detracting from my ability to secure gigs and collaborations.
“I request that you retract all false accusations and remove any related online posts and content. Failure to do so may result in legal action.”
However, Eddz claimed that the issue has been solved.
“I am aware of MaWhoo’s legal threats, but this matter has been resolved. She’s supposed to remove the statement from Facebook.”
