NBS Television presenter Nalumansi Zahara, commonly known as Zahara Totto has fallen out with the South African based Starqt Awards organisers whom she accuses of lack of professionalism.
This follows a bitter fallout between the NBS TV Lunch Time Show Disc Jockey and Stella Nankya, the CEO of the annual South African green carpet event (Starqt Awards) purpotedly after failing to meet the terms of their booking contract.
Zahara Totto demanded her air ticket fares refunded on grounds that she had financed her own transport fares to South Africa to perform at a certain show before heading for the Starqt Awards function hoping that her money would be refunded.
However, that was not the case with Stella who did not believe her claims. This got Zahara Totto fuming and was later scrapped off the events
She was then forced to hit her socials to brand the Starqt organizers with all accusations mention; lack of money to clear the funds she owed them, fraud, lack of emotional intelligence, unprofessionalism and poor management and communication skills.
"Apologies to all my South African fans. I won’t be hosting the Starqt Awards. It is canceled DUE TO FRAUD, LACK OF FUNDS TO PAY ME AND THE ARTISTS, POOR MANAGEMENT, LACK OF EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE, UNPROFESSIONALISM, POOR COMMUNICATION from the whole management of Starqt Awards especially Stella Starqt .
If you paid your money expecting to be entertained, red carpet experience, get your interviews done by me kindly attend at your own risk," lamented Zahara Totto through her socials.
The celebrated mother further noted how musician Mikie Wine too failed to perform at the same event after his deejay was barred from accessing the decks as he was about to get onto the stage to entertain his fans.
Among the three entertainers who had been hired to perform at this year’s Starqt Awards event, only Vinka has not expressed dissatisfaction with the organizers.
This is not the first time Stella Nankya’s name is being dragged into controversies with Ugandan artists. In 2020 she had a burst up with Spice Diana
