The highly anticipated One Man Concert by Kelvin Momo in Durban was officially suspended on Saturday, 5 April 2026, following sudden and severe weather conditions that posed a risk to public safety.
“Act of God” Forces Immediate Shutdown
According to an official statement released by the event’s production team, the show was halted due to what has been classified as an “Act of God,” after strong winds and rapidly deteriorating weather conditions hit the outdoor venue.
Organisers confirmed that forecasts had not predicted the intensity of the weather experienced on the day, leaving little room for pre-emptive adjustments.
Safety Takes Priority
The decision to suspend the concert was made in the interest of protecting all attendees, staff, and stakeholders on site.
“This precautionary measure was taken to prevent any potential risks or harm that could arise from this natural event,” the statement read.
The organisers emphasized that safety remains their highest priority, even in the face of disappointment from fans who had gathered for the much-anticipated showcase.
Emergency Protocols Successfully Activated
Event officials confirmed that emergency procedures were immediately implemented to ensure a safe and orderly evacuation of the venue.
On-site teams remained present throughout the process, assisting guests and working closely with relevant authorities to manage the situation effectively.
Safety Officer Speaks Out
Lulu Mqadi of Cumme Safe, who served as Safety Officer for the event, addressed the decision:
“The decision to suspend the event was not taken lightly, but was necessary to ensure the safety of everyone on site. Our priority will always be to prevent risk and act proactively in situations such as these.”
Further Updates Pending
