Kharishma explains Marula Festival drama

Up-and-coming Limpopo singer Kharishma has spoken out after trending for all the wrong reasons, again. The singer, who was called out for failing to show up at the Marula Festival, revealed that the festival organisers had only paid her the deposit, and the balance was only paid on the day of the event.

Kharishma told TimesLIVE that she and her team were looking forward to performing at the Marula Festival, but they failed to pitch up because the balance was paid late on the day of the performance, so they could not attend. The singer also revealed that she had to pay back the money to the event organisers to avoid drama and bad blood. She said:

The singer, however, had a bone to pick with the event organisers, who were using her picture to advertise an upcoming event in Musina despite not reaching out to her or her team. Per the publication, Kharishma said she felt betrayed because she does not owe the Marula Festival organisers anything after paying them back their money.
