The Asine hit maker, who took the stage around 1.40am, cut her performance short seconds later complaining about poor sound system. Prior to her performance, Kelly Khumalo’s live band spent close to 30 minutes doing some sound check and at the time due to the bad quality sound, one could pick that the SA multi-award winning musician would not finish her performance.
