Macheso sued for failing to pay designer

A LOCAL designing firm, Mataga Promotions, has written a letter of demand to sungura music maestro, Aleck Macheso demanding payment of over R18 000 for promotional materials and services rendered to Orchestra Mberikwazvo some years ago.

Through its lawyers, Maeresera and Partners, Mataga Promotions wrote to Macheso’s band managing director on December 14 last year expressing concerns over the delayed payment of the amount due, adding summons commencing action were being prepared and would be issued to recover R18 273, if payment was not made within five days from the date the letter was delivered.

“Our client advises us that you contracted it to design a logo and to supply you with duly designed T-shirts, hats, berets, scarves amongst other items and you were supplied with the aforementioned items,” the lawyers said.
