Amapiano Awards 2023 Suddenly Cancelled . Initially scheduled for April 2023 at Sun Arena, IOL reported that the event was first postponed due to low ticket sales and internal conflicts. Now, the awards face an uncertain future, as allegations of ownership battles and financial misdeeds continue to surfaceOne insider revealed to ZiMoja that veteran musician Arthur Mafokate had acquired the rights to the awards from DJ Qness for a substantial sum, without informing sponsors or colleagues. This revelation has only deepened the confusion surrounding the event’s demise.
Disappointment hung heavy in the air as organisers Qhubani “DJ Qness” Ndlovu and Pleasure Adams vanished from the scene without explanation, leaving a trail of unanswered questions and shattered dreams. Security, under strict orders, stood firm, denying entry to the hopeful attendees despite their elegant attire and excitement for the night.
The official statement released by the organisers offered little solace, attributing the cancellation to “circumstances beyond our control.” Their words, however, rang hollow amidst the anger and frustration of the assembled crowd.
“Dear Amapiano Lover, We regret to inform you that the second annual Amapiano Awards have been cancelled. Circumstances beyond our control have led us to make this extremely difficult decision. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding. We value the support and enthusiasm you have shown for the South African Amapiano Awards, and we remain dedicated to delivering a memorable experience in the future.”
