Kelly Khumalo dropped from Joburg show amid court controversy: The organisers of the upcoming 'Tribute To Women' music festival have dropped singer Kelly Khumalo who was meant to share the stage with other acts in Johannesburg next week.
In a statement published on Monday, organisers of the festival said they had observed various comments on social media calling for Khumalo to not perform at the event scheduled to take place on 12 August at the Emmarentia Dam, Johannesburg. The show will feature Kabza De Small and Amanda Black and Pabi Cooper and Vusi Nova among others.
"We respect the legal processes and wish to indicate that Ms Kelly Khumalo is innocent until proven otherwise," reads the statement. "However, in the interest of safeguarding our festival, management has taken the decision to relieve Ms Khumalo of her obligations to perform at our festival this year to afford her and her team the time they require to deal with the issues emanating from the current court proceedings," the statement continued.
