âDinner at Somiziâsâ producer Legend Manqele has denied the idea for the cooking show was stolen.
Late last year, media personality and presenter of the show, Somizi Mhlongo-Motaung, was accused of intellectual property theft over the idea for the show.
Evidence had emerged on social media to prove the idea of the show was not Mhlongo-Motaungâs original idea, but that of Hastings Moeng.
This came after former 702 radio host Eusebius McKaiser shared emails from Moeng, who alleged that the âIdols SAâ judge stole the cooking show idea that he pitched to him in 2014.
