Security, Sound Problems Ruin Amaroto Show

The duo, Reece Madlisa and Zuma were making their debut performance in Botswana, after recently winning the Best Amapiano Duo or Group during the first Amapiano awards ceremony in South Africa. Their music has also become a hit among the local music fans, and it was not a surprise that the show, organised by newcomers in the music promoting business Bantu Gold and As Majita, pulled a good crowd. Many of the Amapiano music lovers were looking forward to getting a performance worth their money and time from their favourite artists. However, their festival experience was ruined by sound issues and to some extent security issues too.

What started off as a beautiful night out of fun following good performances from The Girls, Pabi Cooper, Mgiftoz and others, changed at the end when the main acts’ sets were cut short due to sound glitches. Although it appeared the organisers had done well in terms of security, it later turned out that was not enough as many revellers without tickets breached security to gatecrash the VIP area.
