Steve Hofmeyr concert to go ahead as George municipality does U-turn
Cape Town – After deciding to withdraw permission for controversial artist Steve Hofmeyr to perform at one of its venues, the George Municipality on Friday made an about-turn and said it could go ahead after his lawyers got involved.
Hofmeyr was adamant that he would not cancel the show at the city hall, after the municipality announced on Thursday that it could not endorse his event.
The show, which was part of his national " Skree " album launch tour, was scheduled to take place next Thursday evening (March 22).
Proceeds from the show will be part of a fundraising drive by a local school.
Hofmeyr said at the time that "being gagged by liberals" was "nothing new" for him, and that he would litigate.
