The DJ said a lot goes into preparing for a major event like this and that people should understand things from the organiser's perspectiveFestival went ahead smoothly despite the cold weather.

The disgruntled netizen echoed the sentiments of others who questioned why"DSTV Delicious they crazy.
"With all due respect and from a promoter's point of view, there’s really not much you can do with such weather that decided to take a turn 2/3 days before an event of that magnitude, by then, you’re about 80% done with everything, it’s very unfair for people to have expected delicious to “get a marquee or even postpone.” Very unfortunate, but we hope for the best.""I like how you politely walk us through the process. You mostly speak from a layman's perspective.
