SA artist chased off stage with gun

Award winning artist, Amanda Black, was held at gunpoint by an assailant during the Mapungubwe Jazz Festival held at the Polokwane Cricket Club on Saturday.

POLOKWANE – She was scheduled to perform but didn’t as she and her crew were chased off the stage by an armed man.

After that, she expressed her dissatisfaction on Twitter: “We were about to perform at the Mapungubwe Festival in Polokwane but were literally chased off stage, and this guy followed us to the car and smacked one of my band members and threatened us with a gun for taking a video of him.

“I’ve truly never been so scared in my life. The reason I posted was because you guys never see what happens backstage”.

In a video she uploaded on Twitter, she said the ill-treatment emanated from a mix up of timeslots.

“We were chased off of the stage because they wanted to put someone on during our slot.

“We were told that we would never perform,” she said.

She and her crew reported the matter to the Polokwane SAPS, further investigations continue.
