Raphael
Vilakazi of the Sing Africa singers has submitted this announcement:
“All gatherings of more than 100 people
will be prohibited. President Ramaphosa made this announcement as part of the
country’s fight against the spread of Coronavirus, which has now infected at
least 61 people in South Africa. Due to the rapid spread of the virus, we should
all do the right thing and stay at home to the fullest extent possible.
As Sing Africa, we welcome the strong and
clear steps that the President has outlined. We have therefore decided to postpone
the planned Human Rights through Song
Concert indefinitely.
The inconvenience caused by this
postponement is very much regrettable. However, we do hope that music lovers
and supporters of our genre will understand that this is beyond our control.
We advise patrons who wish to be refunded
on the tickets they already purchased, to please contact Webtickets and Pick ‘N
Pay and arrange for a refund. Tickets will remain valid when new concert dates
are issued. Therefore, patrons and music lovers who do not wish to be refunded
can still hold onto them. - Raphael Vilakazi
