Zodwa Wabantu is being asked to refund money after a no-show.
Mr Stengas Shabangu, owner of Stengas Place in Daybeyton, Ekurhuleni, claimed the popular socialite was not at Stengas Place on Saturday, September 7, after receiving the payment.
The club's owner told Daily Sun he paid Ms Zodwa R13 000 but she refused to attend, which led to violence at the event. People were disappointed.
Mr. Stenga said he was hurt and wanted his money back.
“It hurts that she did this to me. What hurts more is that she couldn't reach us,” Stenga said.
“She was the main act. I lost a lot of money because a lot of people came that day and stood outside and said they would only buy tickets if they saw her. Unfortunately she showed up I didn’t.”
“What's confusing is that she has other reservations. Why can't she use that money to pay me?”
However, Zodwa Wabantu said: daily sun that she wouldn't give the money back.
“I am a child of my ancestors, and even if money comes to me, I cannot give it back because my ancestors have asked for it,” Zodwa said.
“In that case, he should give me a new date and I'll be happy to perform for the same amount. I didn't attend his event. Unfortunately, that date didn't pay me well. I thought I would be able to attend his event, but I was unsuccessful,” she added.
