Diamond’s manager risks losing property in auction

Babu Tale and his brother Iddi Tale Tale could be sentenced to jail. The two were directed by the court to pay a fine of Tsh250 million or Kes 11 million to a Muslim motivational speaker Sheikh Mbonde.

The sheikh accused Babu Tales’ Company Tip Top of using his recorded religious video clips for business purposes without his consent. Diamond’s manager co-owns Tip Top with his brother Iddi.

The court found Tip Top Company culpable and awarded the sheikh the Kes 11 million compensation. Babu Tale and his brother have not been able to pay the sheikh to date.

The court also ruled that in the event Tip Top fails to pay, then its property would be auctioned to get the money.
