Thabiso Mkhombo, the event organizer representing Lefa Promotions, has revealed that King Monada failed to make any attempt to reimburse the outstanding amount.

“He has not paid us back and has not said anything since we last spoke. He did not show up at the event,” Mkhombo lamented.
The Chikwana hitmaker was initially paid a total of R40,000 but only repaid half of the booking fee, which amounted to R20,000.
The organizers have opted to give King Monada a final week to settle his debt before considering legal action.
