The health and well-being of attendees was the primary reason cited for the decision.
A second international event, the popular Festival of Chariots, has been postponed in Durban as the fear of the spread of the coronavirus tightens its grip on SA.
“The decision has been taken in careful consultation with all stakeholders who place the health and safety of local and international guests, participants and the greater community as top priority.” “The organisers look forward to sharing the new dates and plans for the exciting festival soon,” the statement said.
“The situation is affecting us in various forms. Socially there is panic, economically we are already experiencing a decline in people coming into the country. There are less bookings in flights and cancellations by various international people who were supposed to come through.”
