According to a statement shared by @MDNnewss, Murdah Bongz was paid R45,000 to perform at Jola Cafe in Sterkspruit. However, he allegedly canceled the event hours before it was set to begin, claiming health issues. Jola Cafe management expressed frustration, stating they had already paid him in full and incurred additional costs for stage and sound hire.
The situation escalated when it was revealed that Murdah Bongz performed at a Johannesburg event on the same day, leading to accusations of unprofessionalism and dishonesty.
Mixed Reactions from Mzansi
The allegations have sparked heated debates online, with fans and critics divided over the incident. Some have called for accountability, while others believe the artist should be given a chance to explain himself.
Here’s what some netizens had to say:
@Mokongwane: “It was an honest mistake, man. Give him a break. He’s a good guy. He’ll come next time.”

@ZikhaliBandile: “Why don’t South African artists take Eastern Cape events seriously? This isn’t the first time—Somizi and Young Stunna did the same thing.”
@NSourceing: “Thabo Smol was never the problem. I now know who the problem was in Black Motion.”
