@MtoloSam said:

"Eish, sorry to hear, but I think they tried in December/ January, and I anticipated it wouldn't work. She wasn't that popular here. They must bring back Toni Braxton. As ama '80s we generally support artists that were big in the '90s."

"Serious question...were there enough people willing to attend her concert to cover the cost of putting on a concert? Just wondering because I know a few of her songs and would never consider attending her concert."

@StraightupGal responded:

"We aren't missing out on anything. Ausi Keisha can perform ko New Orleans with other Zulus. America needs to stop sending us their leftovers, they need to respect us."

@OnlyeverydaySA1 replied:

"Poor advertising, then postponing, then poor advertising again then canceling is diabolical on the promoter's side but also the RnB girlie are not taking SA seriously and it will end in people not buying tickets when they actually want to come here and are serious."
