The concert by the Zimbabwean chanters is among events impacted by a crackdown by authorities against revellers that flouted coronavirus (COVID- 19) regulations in neighbouring South Africa.<\/p>\n

The show at the jam-packed Baseline, Newtown in Johannesburg was held amid inadequate sanitising, masks and social distancing.<\/p>\n

The South African government heightened the crackdown against partying this past weekend to prevent a third wave of the COVID-19 in the country.<\/p>\n

South Africa is the worst affected country by COVID-19 on the African continent and Gauteng, where Johannesburg is located, is the epicentre of the pandemic.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Killer T and Freeman rounded up their musical tour of South Africa with a performance on Saturday night in Kempton Park, east of Johannesburg.<\/p>\n

Killer T performed from 8 PM to 10 PM while Freeman took over the stage until midnight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
