Makhadzi show done at ‘zero budget’

The festival has been the most talked about event in the country since it was announced two weeks ago following the lifting of the ban on music festivals. The event, scheduled for October 22 at Molapo Piazza, is organised by renowned promoter, Gilbert ‘PP wa Pimp’ Seagile of Gilbert Promotions.

Addressing members of the press this week, Seagile said they have no advance payments for the event. While music festivals, especially those involving international artists are often very expensive to organise, Seagile said for the upcoming show, all service providers have come on board as partners to relieve financial strain on the organisers. Seagile also said coming out of a long music festivals blackout, they could not afford Makhadzi’s rate, which ranges from P200,000 upwards. “The event is done at zero budget. We are getting goodwill from the sponsors.
