One of SA’s premier jazz events, Standard Bank Joy of Jazz, has been postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
"Understandably, as a model corporate citizen for over two decades, we observe the obligations imposed on all of us that everyone should be concerned about the impact on lives of individuals which could lead to unprecedented levels of casualties and loss of life, hence some proposals from certain quarters on virtual entertainment, somehow supported by live streaming.
"The South African government has issued regulations that should be observed during the lockdown period. Part of these regulations involve the banning of public gatherings, and the closure of all places or premises normally open to the public where cultural events are hosted.” Tladi said the Standard Bank Joy of Jazz will be considering some practical activities within the festival that will make it possible to be staged in a virtual format but not on the magnitude of the live event.
