SA model drags Malawi Fashion Week to court
A week after Malawian models complained of not getting their money from Malawi Fashion Week (MFW), over five months after participating in the inaugural show, South African model Neetasha Singh is dragging the organisers to court on similar grounds.
Singh, through her attorneys Meryl Moonsamy, has started the legal process by suing MFW organisers Dawa Loga Lemberger of Elegant Resources and Chikumbutso Mtumodzi of African Dzuwa Magazine, for damages after she participated in the event in May.
“We act for Ms Neetasha Singh of Model Camp (Pty) Ltd of Durban, South Africa in this matter. We are instructed that in terms of a contract entered into between you; C Mtumodzi and D. Loga-Lemberger and our client; on the 29 May 2013, she was mandated to host a Model Boot Camp at the Malawi Fashion Week.
“We bring to your attention herein that our client has complied fully in terms of her duties of fulfilment of the contract. You however, have failed to comply in that she has not been paid for the services rendered. In terms of aforementioned contract, you are indebted to our client in the sum of USD1 000 after banking charges deductions have been made,” reads a letter signed by Moonsamy dated August 8.
The names connected with the suing does not surprise me when you come to think of their past stories. This loga hombrie is the same person associated with the suspected unconstitutional funding of a certain party in malawi that is in dire need of financial support and the person in turn chose to utilise the easiest means from the cash gate proceeds. The second plonker is I guess the same person who was famous with bad intentions through and through during the moya era, who apparently was plucked from oblivion by our lady who doesn’t fail to mesmerize the malawi nation, by once again giving him a lucrative post in order to assist her in her endeavours of self-enrichment in the name of developing the country and alleviating the poverty villagers in malawi are experiencing. Lero atosa kuli njoka, pano njoka yomweyo yawaluma. When are you people going to get contented with what you have already embezzled, but you want to steal more?
