Three event promoters and organizers have called out Babes Wodumo for failing to pitch at shows after being paid. Estradini Lifestyle management told ZiMoja that the Gqom queen received R18 000 for a show on January 28th.
As we all know, we held an event on Saturday, January 28th, and unfortunately, only one artist attended instead of the two shown on the poster. Estradini Lifestyle sincerely apologizes for the situation over which we had no control. Babes Wodumo did not attend the event, and when we attempted to contact her, she was unavailable on the phone.
“We kept our end of the bargain and paid her; we have attached proof of payment below. We apologise for the inconvenience. We kindly ask everyone who attended yesterday’s event to keep their tickets for our next event,” the statement reads. Babes who is mourning her husband, Mampintsha and mother-in-law’s death reportedly disappointed two other pub owners.
The owner of Second Half Bar and Restaurant in Nquthu booked her for Saturday 28 January, and Thami Vilakazi from Ora Lifestyle in Pietermaritzburg booked her for Saturday on 21 January.
“It is very risky to book Babes Wodumo these days because she doesn’t show up and her management does not communicate with us event organisers. They are only taking money and then going awol. I’m done booking her,” Vilakazi told the publication.
