Soweto Kota Festival postponed three days before event due to ‘severe weather advisory’
The event was scheduled for 5 and 6 September.
The Soweto Kota Festival, a ninth annual event, faced an unexpected postponement just three days before its scheduled date. Originally planned for 5 and 6 September at the Elkah Cricket Oval in Rockville, Soweto, the festival's line-up featured popular artists like Lamiez Holworthy, Jobe London, Tracy, Mr X, Uncool MC, Tman Xpress, and Mkeyz.
Following consultations with key stakeholders and receiving severe weather warnings from authorities, the organizers decided to push the event to 12 and 13 September. In a statement, the organizers emphasized that this decision was made to prioritize the safety and enjoyment of attendees, ensuring the festival remains a secure and family-friendly experience.
Tickets bought for the original dates remain valid, and the organizers assured ticket buyers that they will provide detailed information on refunds for those who wish to receive one.
