Amapiano star Mawhoo has strongly refuted accusations that she missed a performance at the Blouberg Spring Festival, stating that the event organisers never fulfilled their end of the booking agreement. The singer, whose real name is Thandeka Ngema, addressed the claims head-on, sharing evidence that no payment was made, and therefore, no official booking was confirmed.
The controversy arose after promoter Eddz accused Mawhoo of failing to appear at the festival, causing a stir on social media. Fans expressed disappointment, unaware of the behind-the-scenes issues. However, Mawhoo was quick to clear her name, taking to social platforms to share her side of the story. She posted proof of her bank records, demonstrating that no deposit had been made for the performance, which, according to her, voided the booking agreement.
In a statement, Mawhoo said, “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.” The singer emphasized that she values her professionalism and has worked hard to maintain a strong reputation in the South African music scene.
Mawhoo went on to request that the promoter, Eddz, retract his accusations, as they were damaging to her brand and career. She further warned that if the false allegations were not withdrawn, she would pursue legal action to protect her name and business. “I request that you retract all false accusations. Remove any related online posts and content. Failure to do so may result in legal action.”
This is not the first time that artists have faced such disputes over bookings.
As Mawhoo’s legal team prepares to address the issue, fans continue to support the artist, praising her for standing up for herself and maintaining her professionalism in the face of adversity. The Amapiano queen remains focused on her music and upcoming projects, determined not to let this controversy overshadow her success.
