Ballito Rage festival cancelled after 36 people test positive
The Ballito Rage festival has been cancelled after 36 people tested positive for Covid-19.
The festival opened on Tuesday with several Covid-19 protocols in place. However, after testing more than 1000 people, 32 cases were identified in guests and four in staff members.
Last year’s event has been widely considered as a super-spreader, after more than 800 people were infected with Covid-19.
"While we understand the disappointment that this causes for those who were looking forward to enjoying the festival, these are unprecedented times. We appreciate everyone’s understanding and support. Ticket holders will receive further information in the coming days via email," the organisers said in a statement.
