A club promoter named David “DJ DAVE” Ndubuaku has called out Zodwa Wabantu for failing to appear after being booked to perform in Ekurhuleni.
DJ Dave told the Daily Sun that he approached her about performing at Mega Lounge in the Springs CBD on October 28.
He continued to book her at other clubs, but after paying her R22 000, all he got was disappointment.
“She said yes and also said she might need more bookings as she’s not busy that night. So I managed to convince two other club owners, one in Benoni from Forex VVIP and another one in Boksburg from Broadway Pub, to book her on the same night… She received a total amount of R22 000 from me to perform at those three clubs, but she never showed up. She never answered my calls until today and never refunded me,” he said.
David said Zodwa has ruined his life as he no longer gets gigs and it’s affecting his children.
DJ Dave says all he wants is a refund as other event organisers and friends don’t trust him again, which has destroyed his reputation.
“The money isn’t mine and the club owners are angry with me and want their money back,” he said.
According to Daily Sun, Zodwa Wabantu apologized to the DJ.
“I am willing to make it up to the club owners and their promoter, DJ Dave. Please let them know I am sorry for the damage I caused. I will make it up to them.”
Meanwhile, David hopes Zodwa can return to perform at the clubs if she won’t be disappointing him again.
