The last time pop icon Patricia Majalisa was in Mmankgodi, violence broke out when unruly fans fought among themselves and disrupted what could have been a good show. That was a year ago. Now left with a week before she returns to the secluded location, the Cowards singer says she is undaunted by events of that fateful night.

Some people suffered serious stab injuries as security struggled to control the irate fans. The fracas started when Majalisa came on stage. Some people who had converged outside the club then took advantage of the confusion to force their way into the show.

“It was just fine until I started playing the song Batsha, one of their favourites. People started throwing beer bottles in the air in excitement but this angered others who started fighting and stabbing each other,” she told Showbiz. Majalisa believes the organisers of the last show did little to tighten security and has assured her fans of their safety at her next one.
