Statement issued by Kiernan AKA Forbes regarding The Braai Show

By know as you are aware, The Braai Show goes to air tonight, on SABC1 This matter for me has always been about business principles and asserting my legal rights to my intellectual property and a binding contractual clause that clearly states that myself and MakhuduCom are equal split partners to The Braai Show When | took a personal decision on May 43, to step back from public engagements and day to day business to heal | personally engaged all my business partners, advising of this and my continued commitment to these partnerships Never did | foresee a partnership with such personal connections and affiliations would be the one to betray me.

On 20 August 2021, after many attempts from myself to reach an amicable solution my legal team filed an interdict against MakhuduCom, Cake Media and the South African Broadcasting Corporation The Parties subsequently met on 25 August 2021, at the request of the legal representatives of MakhuduCom for yet another round table discussion In good faith | agreed to this, as it has always been my intention to reach resolution with no legal proceedings

However as soon as the interdict was withdrawn and during the meeting of 25 August 2021 it became clear to my legal representatives that, our good faith was being exploited for tactical purposes by MakhuduCom.

Many artists have gone down the route of letting go of legal battles such as this and thus we suffer and end up with no ownership of our work.

It 1s for this reason that |continue to fight this injustice to my creative vision and the violation of my trust as it is clear to me that the continued exploitation of the creative industry in this country will see no end It is for that reason that | intend to continue the fight. The time has come for a new precedent to be set
|wish continual success for The Braai Show and it’s host for season two After all is said and done its just business. END
