Amapiano queen Shasha has finally issued an apology a month after failing to fulfill her Victoria Falls carnival gig.
Organisers of the Victoria Falls Carnival had previously asked South African entertainers DJ Maphorisa, Kabza De Small and Shasha for a refund after the trio failed to attend the event.
They are now suing the artists for losses incurred.
It later emerged that the talented singer and her management had already parted ways long before the Carnival fiasco.
ShaSha had been with her manager Fungai Zvirawa of Khaya Defero for approximately eight years.
Fungai said her management company was not involved in the booking and were in fact in the process of officially terminating the management.
In her apology, however, Shasha did not explain the reasons behind her bunking the gig but somewhat alluded to the fact that she had parted ways with Fungai.
“Over the past few months, there have been a lot of changes in my environment. A lot of
you might have noticed my silence on social media too. It’s important that I share with you all that, right now, I’m at a moment that marks the end of some things but the wonderful
beginnings of others too,” she said in her statement.
She said the changes led to her failing to turn up for the show.
“In the middle of it all I was unable to fulfill my commitment to be part of the Carnival,” explained Shasha.

Official Statement
06 June 2022
Hello to all my friends and fans who attended this year’s Vic Falls Carnival. I’d like to
apologise to you, and to the festival too, for not attending this year’s edition.
Over the past few months, there have been a lot of changes in my environment. A lot of
you might have noticed my silence on social media too. It’s important that I share with you
all that, right now, I’m at a moment that marks the end of some things but the wonderful
beginnings of others too.
In the middle of it all, I was unable to fulfil my commitment to be
part of the Carnival.
I know this caused a lot of disappointment but I am asking you to please trust me to make
it up to you. My team and I are working hard to come up with a new plan, together with the festival organisers who have been incredibly patient and supportive.
I hope we can announce our plans, alongside some even more exciting news, in the weeks to come.
I can’t wait to perform for all of you. Love to everyone.
Regards
ShaSha
