Brasseries du Cameroun is taking some serious heat for delaying payment of the Mützig Star 2017 winner, Vanessa Monjoa.
It’s been three months since Vanessa Monjoa aka VAJ was pronounced winner of the Mützig Star 2017 but the young singer is yet to receive a dime of her promised prize money.
Media Personality, Valery Dulafe took to his Facebook early Thursday, March 15 to raise the question why VAJ is yet to be gifted what she worked so hard to achieve. The popular OAP wrote an open letter to the national Brewery Company asking questions and assuring them this won’t be so easy to throw under the rug.
“Mutzig star,
If you don’t know yet my name is DULAFE.
A proud son of the Nso land and a son to a Lion. I am a journalist not by favor but by divine calling. No one I mean no one will stop me from calling on you to pay all you owe this lady called Monjoa Vanessa‘. You used her and other young Cameroonians to run your fraudulent game. You sold a dream to Cameroonians and deceived them. You pretended handing a check to her in front of the entire world and promised her a car you never gave. I am sure the authorities of Mutzig do know you have not yet given her price but know this we will not stop until you pay in every penny you owe her.
You lied to Cameroonians. Used her to get people to consume your products, got money from partners yet treat her like shit. But you forgot one thing, not every journalist can be bought and the threats can’t scare me. I will stand by her even I am alone. I promise to rally people, youths, press men and all those who matter and we will match and organise a sitting of A YEAR in front of every main point of your outlet and that you can count on it.
You are just one of such organisers of such emblematic shows in Cameroon that we need to use to set a clear example for those who have been doing so. You steal from these children because they can’t speak. Baams, DA thrill were also victims. It will stop. You guys where smart but you made a mistake. You handed her the trophy in front of the whole world. The whole world is her witness. So I call on every Person who needs justice to be done to download the pic alongside mine, do a photogride of her picture beside and say ” pay venessa “. Then tag me. Lawyers who have been calling me since morning I thank you. We will get to the roots of this.
It might be you tomorrow. Let’s clean our industry.
