Impresario says artist likely to appeal

Incorrigible no-show addict King Monada has lost another lawsuit emanating from his refusal to refund a promoter after failing to show up at the impresario's music event about two years ago.

Sunday World can exclusively reveal that the Nkowankowa Magistrate's Court in Limpopo has ruled in favour of promoter Eric Thoka and ordered King Monada to refund him R49000 plus the legal costs.

Thoka confirmed that he won the suit against King Monada, real name Khutso Steven Kgatla, but said that, given the recording superstar's unbridled hubris, he is expecting him to appeal that judgment.

"The matter was heard on July 25, and the court ruled in our favour and ordered him to refund us. But given his arrogance, I would not be surprised if he appeals the judgment because he did not even show up in court. Only his lawyer did. King Monada was only giving the lawyer instructions via the phone," he said.
