Makhadzi has been ordered to pay R159k for failing to appear.

Makhadzi and her record label, Open Mic, have been ordered to pay R159 000 after refusing to attend a booked show.

The musician was scheduled to perform in December 2021, and Open Mic was paid R70,000 for the booking, but they were disappointed, and thus they have been dragged into a legal battle.

Mxolisi Kabinde of Kabinde Attorneys Inc served the label in May on behalf of Paledi Events Management, seeking restitution for Makhadzi’s absence from the all-white-themed party held at Malapile Park in Rathoke in December.

“You breached the terms of the agreement between you and our client in that the artist booked by our client failed to arrive and perform at the event,” the letter reads.

“We now have instructions to demand the payment of the sum of R158 750 within 14 days of receipt of this letter. Your failure to accede to our demand will result in us with no further notice instituting legal action to claim the amount demanded by our client,” the letter continues.

Makhadzi and the label have remained silent on the letter.
