I always thought the cool kids sit at the back of the bus. I always wanted to sit at the back.

No this is not what I believe. Except maybe for women voting, women should not be allowed to vote. However I have no problem with black men voting.

You've piqued my curiosity.
Why should woman not be allowed to vote?

My ears pricked up too, very interested.

Just don't tell @Emjay about this, she's not ready to learn that conservatives actually do want to reverse feminism and limit women's rights and that the assertion that conservative women are in a state of Stockholm Syndrome in this context is not all that ridiculous.

But hey, don't take it from me - we have it from the horses mouth above.

Interesting. I am curious now whether the production company has viewed this thread. Their LTickets.co.za website is now redirecting to their main webpage.

What is known is that their statement and MSC’s statement are at odds. As can be seen in this Google Cached view,

Google Search

vs. what News24 quoted,

Gombiza says the MSC Cruises theme cruise was organised by an independent third party, that they are solely responsible for all the details relating to the theme, including the on-board theme entertainment for its guests and for the appointment and management of artists. According to Gombiza, the line-up change was "done in accordance with our contract in place with the third-party organiser, which requires that they comply with MSC Cruises' values and standards".

so this raises the question, who errored? Did the production company not meet MSC's values and standards?

Just an odd position by the production company to redirect their tickets site given this situation. It needs to be taken under review whether the initial line-up was approved by MSC.

To have clarity on this matter, the issue is best addressed by the production company, because they advertised Steve and Demi-Lee as the main attraction,

and as its managing director said, "beslis".

From a consumer's PoV, I can only hope that event ticket holders will be reimbursed, in particular those who purchased to explicitly attend Steve's and Demi-Lee's show. This being said, both MSC and the production company have a clause which states that the artists and or line-ups may be changed and that the purchaser is not entitled to any claim under any circumstances. Who really loses here? Only the consumer.

Now, seeing that there is damage control, will MSC continue to work with this production company or vice versa? A party didn't meet the contract.

Yes, that is how it appears on MSC's website,

https://www.msccruises.co.za/cruise-deals/theme-cruises/kappityt-fees

I already highlighted this in an earlier post, and to add their disclaimer to the above,

Disclaimer: advertised activities and artists are organised by the organisers and is additional to the normal entertainment and activities as planned by MSC Sinfonia and MSC Cruises. Additional activities and artists as planned by the organisers can change at any time without prior notice to passengers.

MSC stipulates that all advertised activities and artists are organised by the organisers, and are additional to their own normal entertainment and activities. The onus here is placed on the production company (http://lefra.co.za/) whom have now redirected their tickets site to their main site.

Saw a review for the MCS cruises.
If you like eating and drinking
Doing nothing
And sitting in the sun getting burnt to a crisp, this is the holiday for you.

Made me think twice about gifting my parents a cruise.

I do like the idea of a cruise where you go from port to port and visit new places, but these cruises to nowhere.. would bore me to death.
And then to be stuck with that guy from Wankaranda trying to sing… oi.

No I rather stay home thanks

MSC isn't exactly considered premium, but in truth it entirely depends on the route and the ship. The cruise liners operating here are meh.

I like this man's reviews,

[DentistGuy]

how far back do you want to take it then? till the very first slave? till the very first explorer bought cattle for some baubles on the shores of ZA?

is it ALL "apartheid"?

the answer of course is no, apartheid had an official start date, anything before then could be racist, separatist, inhumane, etc ... what it cannot be is apartheid

' For some baubles'.

I've always heard these type of stories. 'They sold their land for beads, or mirrors or something'.

Not one shred of evidence. Do you have any proof? Another racist trope?

It's a party, if you are a boring person, obviously a cruise would be boring. Then you probably should just stay at home and watch tv.

It also just didn't start out of the blue for no reason. There was segregation laws before apartheid. Apartheid just means segregation.

Steve nie meer op plesierboot van Kaapstad na Namibië

STEVE NIE MEER OP PLESIERBOOT VAN KAAPSTAD NA NAMIBIË​

Gaan braak eerder in jou tuin,” is Steve Hofmeyr se raad aan sy aanhangers wat kaartjies gekoop het vir ’n bootreis waarop sy optrede gekanselleer is.

Hofmeyr het Maandag in ’n video op Facebook sy komende konserte geadverteer, gedagtes gedeel oor die pas afgelope staatsrede (wat hy nie gekyk het nie) en gal gebraak oor die besluit om sy deelname aan ’n konsert op die MSC Sinfonia te kanselleer.

Hy was aanvanklik die bekendste kunstenaar wat aanstaande week sou optree in Lefra-produksies se Kappityt-fees op ’n vaart tussen Kaapstad en Namibië.

Hofmeyr se vertoning is egter gekanselleer, glo weens druk oor sy uitsprake rakende die politiek en die LGBTQI+-gemeenskap.

Johan (Sloet) de Villiers, stigter van die organisasie African-European Indaba, sê hy het die bestuur van MSC attent gemaak op die omstredenheid van Hofmeyr en sy uitsprake nadat hy op sosiale media gesien het die sanger is onder dié wat aan die fees sou deelneem.

Hy en Hofmeyr het in die verlede telkemale swaarde gekruis en De Villiers, wat in Amsterdam woon, het al voorheen op soortgelyke wyse ’n stokkie voor die sanger se optredes gesteek.

“Hofmeyr self is deur die jare by verskeie venues die deur gewys, nie net in Nederland nie, maar ook internasionaal, nadat ons die verhuurders in kennis gestel het wie hulle op die verhoog gaan hê,” sê De Villiers.

“Ek gaan nie my tyd mors as hy vir ’n paar bakvissies en boerseuns in Wolmaransstad sing nie, maar as hy by maatskappye soos MSC betrokke raak, is dit ’n ander storie,” het hy Maandag gesê. “Gaan sing op ’ant Stienie se plaas of in ’n kroegie iewers, maar moenie verwag die groot maatskappye moet jou ondersteun nie,” sê hy.

Volgens De Villiers het voornemende passasiers, onder andere ’n paartjie van dieselfde geslag, hom uit Suid-Afrika genader om by MSC Cruises uitsluitsel te kry oor waarom hulle Hofmeyr toelaat om op hul skip op te tree. “Daar was ook ’n Suid-Afrikaanse bemarkingsmaatskappy wat MSC gekontak het ná aanleiding van inligting (oor Hofmeyr) wat passasiers verskaf het.”

Hofmeyr het Maandag in sy video te velde getrek teen die skeepsmaatskappy en ander wat hulle, na sy mening, skuldig maak aan oordrewe politieke korrektheid.

...

Frans Swart, Lefra Produksies se besturende direkteur, het beaam Hofmeyr is “onthef van sy vertoning op die Kappityt-fees weens sake- en kontraktuele ooreenkomste”. Swart het Hofmeyr se aanhangers om verskoning gevra en gesê Bobby van Jaarsveld sal nou in Hofmeyr se plek optree. Van Jaarsveld se suster Karlien sal ook optree in die plek van Demi Lee Moore, wat haar weens probleme met haar stem aan die fees onttrek het, het hy gesê.

STEVE NO LONGER ON YACHT BOAT FROM CAPE TOWN TO NAMIBIA

Go vomit in your garden instead," is Steve Hofmeyr's advice to his fans who bought tickets for a boat trip on which his performance was cancelled.

In a video on Facebook on Monday, Hofmeyr advertised his upcoming concerts, shared thoughts about the recent State of the Union address (which he did not watch) and vented his anger about the decision to cancel his participation in a concert on the MSC Sinfonia.

He was initially the most famous artist who was to perform next week in Lefra productions' Kappityt festival on a cruise between Cape Town and Namibia.

However, Hofmeyr's show was cancelled, apparently due to pressure over his statements regarding politics and the LGBTQI+ community.

Johan (Sloet) de Villiers, founder of the organization African-European Indaba, says he alerted the management of MSC to the controversy of Hofmeyr and his statements after he saw on social media that the singer was among those who would attend the festival participate.

He and Hofmeyr have crossed swords several times in the past and De Villiers, who lives in Amsterdam, has previously put a stick in front of the singer's performances in a similar way.

"Hofmeyr himself was shown the door at various venues over the years, not only in the Netherlands, but also internationally, after we informed the landlords who they were going to have on stage," says De Villiers.

"I'm not going to waste my time if he sings for a few bowlers and farm boys in Wolmaransstad, but if he gets involved with companies like MSC, it's a different story," he said on Monday. "Go sing on Aunt Stienie's farm or in a bar somewhere, but don't expect the big companies to support you," he says.

According to De Villiers, prospective passengers, including a same-sex couple, approached him from South Africa to find out from MSC Cruises why they allow Hofmeyr to perform on their ship. "There was also a South African marketing company that contacted MSC following information (about Hofmeyr) provided by passengers."

In his video on Monday, Hofmeyr railed against the shipping company and others who, in his opinion, are guilty of excessive political correctness.

PretoriaFM published an article which adds support to the above.

"Ek sal nooit weer my voete op MSC-skip sit nie," sê Hofmeyr oor gekanselleerde optrede

14 Februarie 2023 Die bekende Suid-Afrikaanse sanger, Steve Hofmeyr sal nié meer aan volgende week se Kappityt-fees op die MSC Sinfonia-skip deelneem nie. In ‘n video op sy Facebook-blad meen Hofmeyr dat die fees se organiseerders, Lefra Produksies besluit het om sy optrede te kanselleer weens...
