MANZINI – South Africa award–winning artist Heavy-K and popular spinner
Oskido failed to pitch up for the Intervarsity Games Opening Bash.
Both artists were expected to perform during the bash which featured
‘Y’tjukutyja’ group Uhuru held at the Mavuso Trade and Exhibition Centre
on Friday night.
This left about 100 music lovers disappointed as they had hoped to dance the
night away with the artists.
Information gathered is that despite the artists being paid, according to the
organisers, the artists did not give proper reasons why they did not feature
during the show.
Heavy-K is said to have arrived at Mavuso at around 7pm and stayed briefly
before driving back to South Africa.
On the other hand, Oskido was reported to have failed to cross the Ngwenya
Border on time as he had another performance elsewhere before driving to
Swaziland.
Report
Maxwell Dlamini, UNISWA SRC President, confirmed that both artists did not
perform, saying they were yet to receive a formal report on what transpired.
“All the artists were paid. I was told that Heavy-K arrived early but opted to
drive back to South Africa. I am yet to get the reason why this happened. The
only artist I am aware of is Oskido as I received a report that he could not
make it into the country on time as he started performing somewhere else,” he
said.
Dlamini said they were yet to engage the managers of the artists as they also
need an explanation on what really happened.
“It is a pity that I was not hands on as I was called and informed about the
situation. It would be proper that I get the relevant people so I can be in a
position to give proper details,” he said.
