ViB Mobile awards royalties to SaSa Klaas’ family

Real name Sarona Motlhagodi, Sasa Klaas died tragically in a helicopter crash back in March aged 27 and now copyright on her works of art have been passed on to her family. Usually, members receive royalties through their life span and for 50 more years after their death. Subsequently, their dependants or family will continue to benefit from royalties for a specified number of years after the death of the principal member. The late rapper who was popularly known as Mma Mongwato and Mrs Hip Hop’s royalty cheque was handed over to her family by the CEO of ViB Mobile Leroy Monaheng and the Chief Operating Officer Kagiso Serema. Sasa Klaas’s mother and Minister of Nationality, Immigration and Gender Affairs, Anna Mokgethi received her daughter’s royalties.

In a press release, Monaheng said they will continue doing their part in not only recognising the hard work from local artists but also supporting them in growing their brands to international level.
