Mthandeni cautions fans against violence

The singer was not impressed by his fans throwing bottles and other items in response to his snub.

He cautioned them that being violent is not the answer and mentioned that he would not forgive his fans.

"It is wrong to throw cans at him and to boo him off stage. I ask you to forgive him. As a public figure, I have to lead by example.
"I hope that he will also forgive you. I do not condone what you did in Richards Bay, and it must be called out because I am against it."

Briefly News spoke to Khuzani, who said people should not fight one another because of a song.

"We ask people to understand that competition is a game where people don't fight and don't kill each other. Music is for bringing people together, not for fighting."
