BOMU suspended duo, Trinity Mpho and Mmapula Charity Moatswi for allegedly condemning the union’s decision to appoint Total Music Group (Pty) Ltd as the union’s Music Awards Consulting Firm.

“BOMU Executive Committee, after consulting thoroughly on the comments you made last week in the B.O.M.U. Updates WhatsApp group, has come to a conclusion to suspend you and give you time to furnish it with evidence that B.O.M.U. Executive Committee has corruptly awarded a Tender to Total Music,” read the suspension letter from BOMU president, Phemelo Fresh Lesokwane.
