East African Got Talent has failed to pay the $50,000 grand prize meant for the winners Esther and Ezekiel.
The Ugandan singing youngsters Esther and Ezekiel Mutesasira won the first edition of the East African version of the famous Got Talent reality TV series five months ago and are yet to receive the grand prize.
The delay has forced them to cry out to organizers, saying they are running out of patience to receive their cash prize;
Hey, Beloved ones, we are beyond frustrated, l am writing this to seek speedy resolution to the delayed release of East Africa Has Got Talent $50,000 cash prize that was supposed to be given to us the winners!
Don’t get me wrong it’s been such an amazing experience very humbling meeting the president, inspiring other young kids and all the amazing people we’ve met along the way!
While we appreciate the platform EAGT gave us, it’s their duty as well to fulfill the promises, This is a serious concern to us as the funds are delayed, no one from EAGT has reached out like you recall, we promised to donate some of the money to different charities and wouldn’t want to make empty promises! Sorry we had to shade some light on this.-Ezekiel and Esther
East Africa Got Talent was held in Nairobi, Kenya last year 2019 and the finale was in October, where the singing duo won the grand prize-worthy USD 50,000 (UGX 184m)
