Diamond Platnumz’s performance at Mtwara on Saturday night had to be cut short after just three songs. This took place 30 minutes into his performance, just before the area went dark due to a power outage.
After that, the MC declared that disappointed fans in attendance would all be treated as VIPs on Sunday,
“We start in the morning till 4PM. We ask you to come early in the morning. You that are here today are going to be VIPs tomorrow. “
The singer took to social media to apologize, adding that he would continue with the show on Sunday morning.
“MTWARA!!!! MTWARA!!!! Kutokana na itirafu ya Umeme Jana katikati ya Show yangu, Leo kuanzia Asubuhi Mpaka Saa 12 jioni Ni na wasanii Mbalimbali wa Wasafi Festival tutakua tunaperform tena Live Katika Uwanja wa NANGWANDA.”
(Mtwara, due to a blackout that happened throughout my show, from the early morning till the evening. Live performances by various artists will be held at Nangwanda)
The admittance, he stressed, will be free.
“Sijaona kwa kiingilio cha bure …Njoo na Familia, Watoto, Rafiki ndugu na jamaa wote kuenjoy kwenye Day 2 Maalum ya #WasafiFestival #KivumbiLeo.”
(I have not seen one with free entrance, come with your family, kids, and friends to enjoy)
