Machete wielding assailant jumps on stage during local singer Berita's performance
The singer and her team escaped unharmed.
Vth Season, who manage Berita, released the following statement; "Due to a
security threat that occurred on Saturday night, Berita was unable to complete
her set at the Kwanokuthula Stadium in Plettenberg Bay.
"Berita and Vth Season would like to extend their apologies to the excited
2000 fans that come out to see Berita perform, where she was the headliner and
only performing act on the line-up.
"Two songs into Berita’s performance, a man with a machete made his way on
stage and started cutting sound cables before proceeding to follow Berita with
the knife. Berita and her manager, Ninel Musson, who was with her at the time,
both managed to escape unharmed."
'It was one the scariest incidents'
"It was one of the scariest incidents I have experienced at a show. I was
with Berita and we are both grateful to have escaped alive and unharmed. We
regret that Berita was unable to complete her set as the crowd in attendance
were extremely excited to see her perform and many travelled from far to witness
the African Jewel live,” expressed Ninel Musson, Director at Vth Season.
Even though in shock, Berita wanted to go back and complete her set to the
thousands of fans who came out, but was told it was not safe to do so.
Previous communication by Berita on social media indicated that the man had
been arrested, but this is not the case and the suspect is still at large.
