The sudden death of jazz maestro, Soares Katumbela has attracted pledges to the tune of P40,000 towards the upcoming Francistown Jazz Festival.

This comes after the festival was postponed two days to the D-day of the much-anticipated inaugural jazz festival. The organisers, Streethorn Promotions Company, decided to postpone the event once again, till further notice.
