Tiwa Savage Cancels Siuth Africa Performance, Xenophobic Attacks

Nigerian songstress by name Tiwatope Savage best known as Tiwa Savage has called off her South Africa Perfomance following the recent violence by South Africans towards other Africans (Xenophobic Attacks).

Due to the ongoing Xenophobic Attacks, Nigerian Businesses With South African Connections Are Temporarily Closing Down For Fear Of Reprisal Attacks.

The singer on Wednesday morning, 4th September 2019 took to her twitter handle where she made the announcement of her decision which was mainly informed by “the barbaric butchering of my people in South Africa.”

“I refuse to watch the barbaric butchering of my people in SA. This is SICK. For this reason I will NOT be performing at the upcoming DSTV delicious Festival in Johannesburg on the 21st of September. My prayers are with all the victims and families affected by this,” Tiwa tweeted.
