The shows were set for 8 August at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.suninternational.com\/time-square\/entertainment\/sunbet-arena\/\">SunBet Arena<\/a><\/strong> in Pretoria and 11 August at <strong>Grand Arena, Grand West<\/strong> in Cape Town.<\/p>\n<p>Promoter <strong>Vertex Events<\/strong> confirmed that Maxwell&#8217;s team informed them the artist could no longer perform. Both parties explored alternative options, including rescheduling dates, but no viable solution was found. The promoter stated that neither side is in breach of contract and that the decision was made professionally.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Due to unforeseen circumstances beyond my control, I&#8217;m unfortunately no longer able to perform in <a href=\"https:\/\/interspacemusic.com\/blog\/nathi-mankayis-buyelekhaya-tour-celebrates-the-timeless-legacy-of-a-south-african-afro\/\">South Africa<\/a> as planned.
