“Dear Fans and Stakeholders, we would like to extend our heartfelt apologies to all stakeholders, fans, and everyone who was looking forward to seeing Kelvin Momo perform at the Mamalisa event in Polokwane,” the statement read.

“Unfortunately, Kelvin Momo was unable to attend due to unforeseen fuel shortages. Despite efforts by him and his team who visited multiple petrol stations, they were unable to secure diesel in time, and ultimately had to make the difficult decision to return home.”
The event organisers reiterated the apology in a follow-up caption, stating, “We sincerely apologize for Kelvin Momo’s absence last night. Unforeseen fuel shortages prevented him from attending the event. We appreciate your understanding and support as we work on a new date.”
