Read more: DStv Delicious Festival Attendees Left Disappointed By The Poorly Organized Festival
Most attendees of the DStvDeliciousFestival event over the weekend has come forward to voice their disappointment for what transpired over the weekend at this event. Although the sentiments have quite differed, however what has became apparent is that the DStvDeliciousFestival event was lackluster.
Busiwa is the latest to come forward and called out the white production company that was in charge of organizing this event. Busiswa blames the white production company for not priorities black creatives and audience at this event, as many of them have cried the same cry with the horrific happenings at the DStvDeliciousFestival event.
“It was probably a white production company that didn’t anticipate the impact of what happened. White production companies ruin many possibly nice experiences in SA. Many nice acts not on main stage but an unknown Gforce occupying all that stage time? Abelungu stru” wrote Busiswa

Tweeps have since joined hands and jumped into Busiswa’s bandwagon, as they are also blaming the production company that organized the event, which they believe was a white owned company.
“That event literally didn’t bare in mind of the audience & research on how to cater for the audience being POC. Events that have nothing to contribute to the culture but,profitable margins will always be this way.The profit aspect of it doesn’t include businesses owned by POC!” wrote Aladeen Deciple

“Black event organisers will never receive a fraction of the sponsorship that goes to white ones and yet there is double the expectation in delivery. There are certain “mistakes” that would render black organisers dead and buried. We are literally watching the power of monopoly” wrote K. Malatji

Busiswa is adamant that the downfall of this whole event is the white people who were in charge, as organizer. She believe that had it been a black company, artists as well as the audience would have been prioritized.
“I don’t even know who the organisers were but I knew it must be whites because only they can do that much for that much” wrote Busiswa
