Creative industry disappointed as govt cancels festive :: Mmegi Online

Creatives thrive on mass gatherings through events like music festivals and others but when the COVID-19 task team cautioned the public against mass gatherings this week, the creative industry is now gearing up for a long, bleak and thirsty festive season.

It is Black Friday today so something tells you that the festive season has already began. Forget Black Friday, this year it won’t be normal so mass gatherings in shops are prohibited according to the national coordinator of the COVID-19 taskforce, Dr Kereng Masupu.

Usually the festive season is the period when promoters, musicians, venue owners and allied players make more money. Holidays festivals like Home Coming Concert, Born & Raised, Clap Your Hands, Gaabo Motho music festival just to mention but a few are generally spread across the country and various villages targeting people who would be going home for the holiday season.
