Revelers at a previous Rage festival.
Melanie Verwoerd writes that she understands the frustration of the Rage Festival CEO, who recently lashed out at the media, but says he is pointing the finger in the wrong direction.
A few days ago Rage Festival Group CEO Greg Walsh did a Donald Trump or – if you prefer – a Fikile Mbalula. In a video statement, he blamed the media for the cancellation of the Ballito and Plett raves.
Before I go any further, let me say that I am sincerely sorry for all those who have lost their jobs and their income due to the cancellations. It is really difficult and something that millions of South Africans (and people around the world) have had to contend with since the start of the pandemic. I’m also sorry for the matrics, who couldn’t have the parties they were looking forward to, which is another sad fact of the times we live in. I know it’s a little consolation at this point, but it will be an amazing story to tell your grandchildren someday.
