In what was supposed to be a make-up show for the previous postponed concert, things turned disastrous for patrons as South African songtress Zahara did not show up.

The music festival called ‘Zahara at the Park’ was held at Pavilion in Fairgrounds this past Saturday and it was organised by Krafted Vision. What made matters worse is that the organizers, Krafted Vision, knew beforehand that the Loliwe hitmaker was not going to make it to the event and yet they let people into the venue.

The organisers announced later on the night that the person they had been waiting for since 2pm will not perform as scheduled. According to the performance schedule, Zahara was supposed to perform at 9pm. The show itself was supposed to kick-start at 2pm. But around 7pm no artists had performed yet and they were still doing sound check.
