" Dear Phelo, your business opportunities were and are highly due to the strength of the brand Bala, which you were afforded access to. Again you will agree that this is way more than just a regular surname as it has immense value carried mostly by its reputation. A lifelong investment went into this brand.
"To cut to the chase, I think it is only fair of me to afford you the opportunity to surrender the use of brand Bala for commercial steps without taking legal steps."

@LeedongaBaepz commented:
"Stripped Phelo for using the surname, your mother's child, Zwai is wrong for doing that."

"He’s not wrong since Phelo always pulls the “I’m not a Bala” card whenever it suits him."
@MrsR_Unicorn said:
"Haibo. Is Zwai the sole owner of that surname? Uyanya."
@mbakho commented:
"Sooo soo sad and silly, more especially considering the fact that he didn’t name himself. How about he says that to the mum that registered his name with Bala."
@ofentsegabashan added:
"What a horrible sibling."
