‘Our Artists Facing Gig Cancellations Abroad’ South African Justice Minister’s Reveals

Mmamoloko Kubayi has sparked widespread debate after stating that “majority of South African artists who perform in other African countries are seeing their gigs getting cancelled,” adding that “one artist reached out to me and said all her gigs were cancelled.”

The comments immediately triggered a wave of online reactions across social media, with users sharply divided over the reasons behind the reported cancellations and what it reflects about Africa-wide relations.
