At a briefing held at the Durban stadium yesterday, Cassper addressed\u00a0the\u00a0 rumours that he received R56 million from eThekwini Municipality.<\/p>\n
The briefing was attended by KZN artists\u2019 organisations and forums, as well as DJ Tira. Cassper said he had not received any money from the municipality.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I first organised #FillUpTheDome, it was difficult and I thought maybe people didn\u2019t understand the concept behind it,\u201d said Cassper.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe government came on board at the last minute.<\/p>\n
\u201cI remember I was called by the minister to say they had come to an agreement to sponsor the event.<\/p>\n
\u201cI hope the municipality will fund us or a lot of things will be compromised.\u201d<\/p>\n
Organisations such as Delangokubona, Radical Economic Transformation and the Creative Workers Union of South Africa have claimed Cassper was given R56 million by the municipality and demanded that they benefit, too.<\/p>\n
The union\u2019s Joy Mbewana said they were not against the show but against the money Cassper was rumoured to have received.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve reached an agreement and we\u2019re happy. We were surprised to find out the rumours were untrue,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
