Why did Tshedi disrupt Malaika's show?

Well, the answer is pretty simple, she believes that she IS Malaika. The singer told the news publication that because she still receives royalties, she is entitled to the monies received when Malaika performs. In addition, she accuses Bongani Nchang of using her name when booking performances despite being replaced by Molipa.

Tshedi explained that she was at the venue with her friends, and when the duo took to the stage, she decided to join them. However, Bongani and Tsoakae decided to leave, ending their performance abruptly. In the video, Tshedi still attempted to be handed a mic so she could sing.

When asked about this, she revealed that the songs the new duo keeps performing belong to Malaika, which, according to her, is Tshedi, Jabu and Bongani. Jabu passed away in 2008.

Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, Tshedi Mholo said that she has issues with the new member of the group.

"My issues stand with the Malaika member. Not with his wife, who is apparently his manager under the banner Malaika, which is a business for three individuals with Sony. His wife should not involve herself, as this is not about her. To round it off. This is fraud that has been happening for some time with my IP!"

Tshedi Mholo mentioned that even Molipa is earning royalties from the music she helped make hits back in the day. "Any performances that are happening under the banner of the group, I'm entitled to the share, which I never got," she mentioned. She stands firm in her belief that Malaika is a trio, not a duo.

On the other hand, Bongani revealed to Briefly News that he believes Tshedi had malicious intent when she "interrupted" their performance.

"The actual sequence of events involved an interruption of our performance, driven by malicious intent. Given that the performance was exclusively for Malaika, her presence on stage without an invitation does not constitute participation in our performance. Furthermore, her performances are conducted without my interference."

He also remains firm that Tshedi willingly left the group and nobody kicked her out.
