Lebo M says Learnmore Jonasi legal action looms, after failed private settlement efforts | Three Men On a Boat
Lebo M is pursuing legal action against Learnmore Jonasi after private settlement attempts failed, citing public misrepresentation and a refusal to engage in constructive dialogue.Summary
Following unsuccessful attempts at a private settlement, Lebo M’s team has announced it will pursue legal action against Learnmore Jonasi. Over several weeks, Lebo M made three attempts to engage in constructive discussions with Jonasi, all of which were ignored. According to spokesperson Tshepo Mboni, Lebo M has “consistently chosen dignity over noise,” but the continued refusal to engage and ongoing public commentary have left them with no choice but to proceed legally.
Team Lebo M accuses Jonasi of attempting to “litigate through social media” and distort facts to influence public opinion, stating they will not negotiate artistic legacy or intellectual property in the public sphere. The legal claim, initially cited as $27 million, is supported by international counsel and based on a clear legal methodology.
The team emphasizes that the dispute is about more than just a financial claim; it’s about protecting artistic legacy, cultural heritage, and the rights of creators globally. With all avenues for amicable resolution exhausted, Lebo M is now moving forward with formal legal proceedings and the “full weight of the law.”
