💨 Abstract

The musician The Kiffness accused the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) of attempting to cancel his upcoming concert at Kirstenbosch Gardens. This follows allegations of racism and Islamophobia from his social media posts. AfriForum had previously claimed that certain journalists were being paid by the state to discredit them, which The Kiffness linked to his concert controversy. Despite public backlash, The Kiffness expressed gratitude for the increased attention and ticket sales.
