Carnival City regrets to confirm that the much anticipated Soulful Nights: Jazz Legends Edition with Hugh Masekela has been postponed until further notice.<\/p>\n
The event, set to feature Caiphus Semenya, Bhudaza and Dumza Maswana, was scheduled to take place at the Big Top Arena on June 17.<\/p>
The concert has been postponed following an injury sustained by Masekela after a fall during a trip to Morocco in April.<\/p>\n
He dislocated his shoulder which exacerbated an old injury.<\/p>
He has since undergone surgery and requires eight weeks of recovery.<\/p>\n
This means that he will only be well enough to perform again after August.<\/p>\n
Masekela is deeply regretful about disappointing his fans but his health must be prioritised.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlthough we know that fans will be disappointed, we understand that the postponement is necessary and we fully support the decision as Hugh Masekela\u2019s health is most important.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe wish him well during his recuperation.<\/p>\n
\u201cA new date for the concert will be confirmed for later in the year,\u201d said Carnival City\u2019s marketing manager, Michelle Smith.<\/p>\n
All purchased\/booked tickets for the concert are fully refundable.<\/p>\n
Those who have booked tickets to the event can contact Computicket for a refund.<\/p>\n
Tickets can also be retained for the concert later this year.<\/p>\n
A new date will be confirmed.<\/p>\n
