While many people had taken to social media to congratulate the music star for a successful show, there was confusion after ATI went live Tuesday afternoon on his Facebook page and one local radio station with claims that even though the show received massive support from Batswana, proceeds from the gate were stolen. The live feed was viewed by about 191,000 views, attracted 11,000 reactions and 2,000 comments. It seems there is more to the story, after the As One Music Concert organiser and also Blue Skies managing director, Kesego Okie responded that she was shocked and utterly disappointed at the allegations.
She stated that she was still trying to close the concert logistics. On Wednesday afternoon Okie issued a public statement indicating that a member of the As One Music Concert team revealed various consistent messages of abuse of office by the concert head of security. She further said the security personnel were specifically appointed on a preferred supplier basis by one of the partners of the concert, ATI. Okie further stated that they opened a police case against the individual who allegedly stole the money with Francistown Police Station where he confessed to have indeed stolen the money. Okie also revealed that there were deposits made by their team into their joint account on May 29 from ticket sales. She stated that they are yet to collect money from ticket sales at the various Liquorama outlets across the country.
