Municipality denies paying Pabi R100K

However, the municipality poured cold water to the allegations, saying Pabi Cooper only performed on her own accord. The spokesperson, Steve Mavunda, alleged that Pabo Cooper was not paid that amount of money, and he refrained from disclosing the actual amount she was paid, if she was indeed paid.

"The municipality's spokesperson, Steve Mavunda, has disputed these claims to Giyani View, stating that Pabi Cooper was not officially invited to perform and that the municipality did not make a payment of R100,000 to her. Mavunda clarified that Cooper attended the event in a supportive capacity and was not engaged by the municipality to perform."

Netizens are demanding proper answers from the municipality, asking why would they pay such an amount for a lacklustre performance.

@_Lolo_Pat stated:

"Something is off here."

@TheGeopol asked:

"R125K for such a wack performance? Pabi Cooper must tell the truth. Part of that money went to someone in the Giyani Municipality. Vhanu vha giyani must explain this mess."

@AHT_YssY joked:

"They must follow the money, it'll soon make its way back to one of the municipal officials."

@__ThapeloM added:

"Something is fishy here; where did that 100k go to? We want answers now."

@TheRealSmomoh declared:

"There has never been a smoke without fire."

@IamTomTsibinki mentioned:

"Mavunda thinks we are all EFF members. Pabi did not drive to Giyani for mahala and performed for mahala [free.]"
