FRANCISTOWN: The inaugural Jazz Mu Toropo music festival, which was supposed to be one of the biggest jazz music festivals in the city, turned out to be a flop on Saturday night at the Obed Itani Chilume stadium.

Despite all the hype on social media, the music festival only attracted a handful of people. Controversial South African (SA) talented songstress, Kelly Khumalo who was supposed to have raised the bar for the event, walked out of the stage just less than a minute after starting her performance.

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.
