One of the founders and major shareholders of the Ballito and Plett Rage festivals has accused media houses of creating panic and hysteria about the events, which he says led to them being cancelled.
Both festivals were cancelled last week after staff and guests tested positive for Covid-19 amid mounting public pressure for them not to continue.
“The events of this last week have really upset me. They have brought deep despair and destruction to our organisations and teams. What is going on cannot continue. It is nonsense,” he said. Walsh said significant medical facilities were built to conduct testing for staff and guests on a daily basis. “No longer is the core purpose of media to tell you and me the truth. The core purpose is to spread hysteria.
