MUSICIAN CULOE DE SONG ALLEGEDLY IN BREACH OF LOAN AGREEMENT

Culoe De Song was reportedly loaned an advanced R117 603.14 by the commercial entity plus interest at the rate of 9.75%.

As per the agreement between the two parties, the musician was due to pay equal monthly instalments until all of the outstanding balance and interest was paid in full.

“The interest rate would increase or decrease as the prime rate of interest increases… the full balance outstanding would be payable on demand at the instance of the plaintiff,” the court papers read.

As a result of the artist allegedly failing to respond to the letter of demand sent to him, the bank has terminated the loan agreement.
