Mjoni’s no show
Organisers of the annual Ghetto Spring Fest have stated that Tswana soul legend Johnny Mokhali will not perform at the 23rd September event due to contractual complications.
According to DJ Phat T, Mokhali earlier this year signed a contract for a gig schedules for November in Francistown.
In that contract, Mokhali is not supposed to have any event in Francistown three months before his scheduled performance in November.
According to the organisers it appears when the legend agreed to perform in September, he was not aware of this line in his other contract.
The legend has since sent a video to apologise while organisers are negotiating with a new artist to fill the gap left by Mjoni.
