Durban - THE Department of Arts and Culture is in the process of recouping R421 000 out of the R4 million paid to a popular Ukhozi FM DJ after it had bungled payment to fund his initiative in 2017.

The department’s lawyer, together with the sheriff of the court, stormed into the SABC studios and were eventually able to serve him with summons as soon as he came out of the studio at the end of his shift. Arts and Culture Head of Department Ntokozo Chonco confirmed that the DJ owed a balance of R421 000 and that he had been evading paying back the money since 2017.However, at the time he only returned R3m of the R4m that was inadvertently paid into his account.“We requested for him to pay back the money. The responsible thing he should have done was to return the extra money as soon as it was paid, because he knew how much funding he was supposed to get from the department.
