It was, however, not all bad when things started out in the beginning. The group leader told the news publication that they were promised empowerment, among other things, by the late Sfiso Ncwane.

Ayanda took over when the late Gospel icon passed away.

The leader of the group and music composer, Percy Nyoka, told the paper that whenever he would request to iron things out and receive what's theirs, a fight would ensue.

“Ayanda is the one who knows everything regarding Abathandwa payments and royalties because everything is with her. As I speak to you now, as a composer for our songs, I have not received a cent in royalties.”

Netizens weigh in on Abathandwa's claims

A Twitter user, @ThisIsColbert, shared a clip from the group's music video, and netizens weighed in on the ongoing fight.
