"They keep sabotaging my girl Keyshia, like everyone in SA is broke around January."

@lulushezi said:

"January? As 'we spent all our money in December and now we're broke' January?"

@MtoloSam wondered:

"Were those tickets selling? Rather, bring Brandy instead."

@m_mtheekay wrote:

"We're too broke for those concerts. It's going to be postponed again."

@Lebone01 speculated:

"Unforeseen circumstances? The organisers really thought she'd get a lot of sales? Seriously? These washed-out Americans ba re tlwaela."

@BhazabhazaB guessed:

"Lol, folks didn't buy tickets."

@EstherMellow was convinced:

"Similar to the Johnny Gill concert, the postponement may be due to low ticket sales. Not every US artist can pull high ticket sales. Event organisers need to understand the SA audience. Keisha and Johnny should have been part of that food concert."
