What happened at the Mthandeni Summer Experience?

We are finally learning what actually happened at the Mthandeni Summer Experience, and that things are truly not how they seem.

The stage manager in charge of the event, Khekhokuhle "Ncushela" Vilakazi, has been dragged into the drama and blamed for allowing Naledi Aphiwe on stage during Gatsheni's performance, leading the crowd to hurl bottles at her.

However, Ncushela revealed to DailySUN that although Naledi was wrong for interrupting another artist's performance, Gatsheni was also not meant to be on stage. Ncushela blamed both artists for the mishap:

"During Jaiva Zimnike's performance, his song with Gatsheni played, and he invited him to join him on stage. After Jaiva left, fans wanted more from Gatsheni even though it wasn't his slot. We allowed him to perform."

In order of appearance on stage, Naledi was placed two performances after Jaiva, but her team bombarded the stage sooner than expected:

"Both Gatsheni and Naledi were at fault because it was Saliwa's slot. Naledi was wrong to start her performance while Gatsheni was still on stage; it was disrespectful. Gatsheni was also wrong for not informing fans that it wasn't his slot."

The singer issued a statement owning up to the incident and promising to learn from it:

"I acknowledge that my actions were inconsiderate, and I deeply regret the way I conducted myself on stage. I respect the values of this community, and I will take this time to reflect on my actions and ensure that I grow as an artist and individual moving forward."

Gatsheni's team confirmed to Briefly News that they are willing to meet with Naledi's team to come to some sort of agreement.

"I understand it was their time, but they were supposed to give Gatsheni and his dancers respect so they can finish up their performance," the rep said.
