Auto renewal EP loading under Makhadzi entertainment, after 15 years of hard word i will get to know how much i make on sale for the first time in my life. All thanks to everyone that booked me says Makhadzi.
If she had the copy on her self she would have went through the contract and see what was expected of her, even if she was given money from the beginning and it becomes an once of payments with awareness it would have been much better.
Before signing any contract get thr copy and go through the contract and look at the terms and conditions of the contract, to save yourself from getting into deals that will affect you later.
