Free State businessperson Berry Bereng Matseletsele says he is losing hope because, since Thebe Mogane failed to pitch at his event in Lesotho two years ago, the legendary musician has failed to pay him back a R10 000 booking fee.
Legendary kwaito hitmaker Thebe Mogane will have his day in court for not performing at a gig in Lesotho last month and then failing to pay back the R10 000 deposit he received.
Free State businessperson Berry Bereng Matseletsele, who had booked the star to perform at the Fafatsa Café in Maseru, sought help from the courts after his demands to recover the money he paid Mogane to perform on January 2 were ignored.

Musician Thebe Mogane has angered a businessperson after he allegedly missed an event that he was booked to perform in Maseru, Lesotho, three weeks ago.
The hitmaker was slapped with a small claims court letter of demand from Berry Bereng Matseletsele after he was forced to cancel his music festival on January 2 due to an alleged breach of contract on Mogane’s part.
In the letter, which City Press has seen, Matseletsele is demanding a refund of the R10 000 deposit he paid to secure Mogane’s appearance at the event.
“I hereby claim from you the payment of R10 000 in respect of [a refund for an event] that was supposed to take place in Maseru, Lesotho. Thebe took a gig in Maseru two days before January 2 2021 against our agreement of not performing in Maseru five days before our event and five days after our event,” the letter reads.
