Lebo explained that, in essence, giving due credit to ideas was a form of respect.
He said people need to get into the habit of referencing the source of ideas and learn to self-correct if they “steal by mistake.”
The poet also pointed out that, as a creative, she left room for doubt about Somizi’s involvement in the matter.
He explained that an artist’s name can be used multiple times without them knowing anything about it and blamed the broadcaster.
“I leave room for doubt that Somizi may not have been aware of the theft of intellectual property. As performers, our names are used in hundreds of proposals, known and unknown, many of which never see the light of day. “
When told that the idea and speech were supposedly directed directly at Somizi, Lebo questioned whether Somizi had spoken out on the matter.
“Kubi. Has Somizi issued a statement? I’m thinking about how many artists have representatives to represent them in the preliminary stages of the negotiation. Emails addressed to ‘me’ may not be seen by the real me until the conversation has progressed to a certain point, ”Lebo said.
He added that he was not trying to force the idea that Somizi was 100% innocent.
“Please don’t think I’m trying to force the idea that he’s 100% innocent. I am reflecting on my own experiences and leaving room for doubts. “
In the meantime, MultiChoice spokesman Benedict Maaga told TshisaLIVE that he was aware of the allegations and had reached out to Hastings to discuss the matter.
“MultiChoice is aware of the allegations made by Hastings Moeng in relation to Dinner at Somizi’s. When the content is commissioned from the producers, as in this case, MultiChoice gets a pledge that all intellectual property rights in relation to the program have been licensed.
“We contacted Mr. Moeng a week ago to discuss the matter and await his response. We are also collaborating with the producer of the show. ”
