Musa is In a war with a distribution company after filing an interdict application claiming it is within his rights to cancel the agreement.The Selema hitmaker, whose real name is Musa Makamu, retaliated by filing a notice of counter-application on September 2, in light of Electromode taking the legal route to sue him for breach of contract and demanding R700 000 for the misdemeanour.
Makamu wants to consider that the agreement was reached within the confines of the Consumer Protection Act, which he argues empowers him to end the agreement. Electromode, however, has contended that he still owes them money for the services provided to him between April 2021 and May this year.
“At all material times, the applicant (Musa Keys) duly complied with the terms of the contract. On or about May 3 2022 and May 23 2022, respectively, the applicant through his management team, The T- Effect, validly cancelled the agreement between the applicant and respondent wherein it requested the respondent to inform its contractors in terms of clause 2.2 of the agreement to remove the applicant’s content from all platforms from the said date,” read the papers.
On June 25 2022, the applicant, through his legal representatives, transmitted a letter to the respondent’s attorney of record, refuting its claims that the applicant is not a ‘consumer’ for the purposes of the act.”
Makamu further wants the court to order Electromode to pay damages to the tune of R463 050.30 for his portion of royalties while their agreement prevailed. Makamu submits that the basis of the case has been laid and asks the court to grant the claim. He said: “I submit that a proper case has been made out for the relief sought in the notice of motion and, therefore, I humbly pray that this honourable court grants an order as set out in the notice of motion.”
