\u201cYou are to blame for all this mess brother. Your event was poorly organized from marketing to choice of performers,\u201d reads one of the comments Other people are of the view that the musician ought to be helped.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur brother needs help so let\u2019s give him a positive response. He has learnt his lesson and I don\u2019t think he will repeat the same mistake,\u201d reads another comment. The event dubbed Amapiano Fest, did not match the hype that preceded it as few people showed up.<\/p>\n

South African dancer Zodwa Wabantu was expected to headline the event but the Malawi Government barred her from performing in the country, a development which is believed to have diluted the happening.<\/p>\n

According to Mwamondwe, Zodwa was given an advance payment of K6 million. The money was not repaid which left the organizer in hot soup. Malawi bans Zodwa indefinitely<\/p>\n
