Violence Erupts at Kwaslondon Festival After Makhadzi Show!
The annual Kwaslondon Fun, Games & Musical Festival turned into a nightmare this morning after fans reacted violently to the headline act, Makhadzi, failing to perform.
Scheduled for a 10PM appearance, Makhadzi left thousands of fans waiting until 5AM with no explanation. In a bizarre attempt to salvage the situation, organizers sent out a performer who resembled Makhadzi, hoping to fool the crowd.
The stunt quickly backfired when fans realized the impersonation, sparking outrage. Bottles and stones flew through the air, and chaos peaked when angry attendees set the stage ablaze. Emergency services and police were called to intervene. Although no serious injuries were reported, the impersonator sustained minor bruises amid the uproar.
Held in Makwassie, Wolmaransstad (North West), the festival is known for its charitable efforts, supporting underprivileged families and funding local bursaries. However, this year’s unrest has overshadowed its good intentions, leaving organizers under fire for their mismanagement.
As fans demand answers and accountability, the future of the Kwaslondon Festival hangs in the balance.While Makhadzi herself has remained silent on the situation that provoked such a strong response strange allegations are surfacing that an impersonator had performed at the show instead of the artist herself.
A video has surfaced online claiming that the footage was of an individual performing in Makhadzi’s place during the festival. The artist has yet to release any statement on the unusual situation, but many fans are demanding answers.
“I’m not saying the violence was warranted but why bring out a Makhadzi from Temu? The organisers must take full responsibility.” @Thapz__
“This happened somewhere in the North West. Allegedly, the promoter lied to the community by saying Makhadzi is going to perform. When she didn’t pitch, the crowd lost it and burned the stage. False Advertising is wrong and dangerous.” @Tsele_MK
“Imagine people paid and traveled from all over the North West to see Makhadzi live only to be given a Makhadzi from Temu. The people burned down the stage and stoned the Fake Makhadzi in retaliation, can we blame them? Makhadzi why didn’t you Pitch in Makwassie?” @ApstDeza
