Makhadzi has finally broken her silence in light of the sneaker brand kicks Kokovha’s CEO Sammy Mhaule’s R 8.2million lawsuit against her.
Sammy is suing Makhadzi along with her production company Open Mic Production, for breaching the partnership agreement. The partnership includes wearing the brand’s sneakers during performances and promoting the brand on her social media platforms.
According to Sunday World reports Makhadzi failed to honour the contract, resulting in Sammy claiming damages of over R8.2 million.
“The partner agrees that the brand participates in a number of activities arranged by Kicks Sportswear.
“This includes participation through a series of social media posts both on Kicks Sportswear’s social media account and also on Makhadzi social media account, event appearances, speaking engagements and media interviews, following guidelines as set out by the corporation and its agencies,” read the agreement.
Makhadzi’s legal team also issued a statement via Instagram where she denies all accusation made against her and her company.
The statement reads as follow;
“Following media reports in a Sunday newspaper this week, Open Mic Productions wishes to place on record that the complainant failed to keep his end of the bargain and was actually in breach of his contractual obligations from day one,” read the statement.
“The complainant makes some gross and unsubstantiated claims in his summons which we would like to dismiss as falsehoods, fabrications and misrepresentation of how the events unfolded.”
In the statement, Sammy explained that Makhadzi signed a R120m deal with sportswear brand Kicks Sports Agreement in October 2021.
