Busiswa Embroiled In Money Drama

House musician Busiswa is currently involved in a heated conflict about money, an amount of R10 000 for failing to perform at the event she was booked for by a Port Elizabeth promoter Ian Rockman.

Ian was the promoter of the The Irock Jazz festival late last year where they requested for Busiswa to be one of the performers and paid her the money prior the performance, but the event was cancelled due to a disturbing weather. To honour the payment she had to made her, he again asked her to perform at another event around PE the same area she was set to perform for some other event but she didn’t make it.

“Busiswa was booked for the event and was fully payed. She already had another gig in PE and asked me to find a secondary gig for her, which I did. The people from the first event covered her flight and accommodation, the arrangement was that my driver would wait for her to finish at the first event then drive her to my festival. But unfortunately the heavy rain forced us to shut down and I then called to let her know,” he explained.

In Busiswa’s defense she said that she owes him nothing. “I don’t owe him anything because I went to his event prepared to perform but it rained and he cancelled. It rained and we waited in the hotel room for his transport to come get us and it never did,” she said.

Ian threatened to involve lawyers on the matter as they seemed to bump heads with the The Ngoku hitmaker.
