Job insecurity takes psychological toll on South African workers
As South Africa marks Mental Health Awareness Month, retrenchment fears and economic uncertainty are adding to pressure on workers worried about income, financial security and their professional identity.
Fans of American neo-soul singer Jill Scott who had been eagerly anticipating her November concerts in South Africa have been left disappointed as her scheduled performances in Pretoria and Cape Town were abruptly cancelled due to "unforeseen circumstances". The American artist had been set to headline her To Whom This May Concern World Tour, with two shows planned for November 7th at SunBet Arena in Pretoria and November 11th at Grand Arena in Cape Town, GrandWest.
Tickets holders are now eagerly awaiting information on how they can obtain refunds for their concert tickets.
Showtime Management, the promoter behind the show, has not disclosed the reasons behind Jill Scott's cancellation, though online speculation has centered around ticket sales or pricing. The promoter has, however, expressed appreciation for Scott's connection to South Africa and indicated that her team is keeping the possibility of a future return open. No new concert dates have been confirmed at this time.
Ticket holders can rest assured that full refunds are being processed automatically based on the ticketing information provided. Typically, these refunds will take between five to ten business days to appear on the original payment account. Fans are advised to keep an eye on their email inboxes for confirmation and updates from Ticketmaster South Africa, who will be directing the refund process.
Those whose payment details have changed should look out for communication from Ticketmaster with further instructions for their refund.
For attendees who have already made travel or accommodation bookings for the cancelled concerts, it's important to check the refund policies of their respective travel and accommodation providers, as the ticket refund may not cover these additional expenses. Fans will need to wait for further announcements from Jill Scott's team regarding a possible return to South Africa in the future.
