Revellers who attended the three-day Nyege Nyege Festival which was held from September 15 to 18, 2022, were left disappointed by the poorly organized function.
Most attendees didn’t get a place to sleep and those who got accommodation were disappointed by the sorry state of the facilities.
On Monday September 19, organizers issued a statement apologizing to revellers who were disappointed by the state of affairs at Nyege Nyege Festival.
“Nyege Nyege Festival apologizes for any shortcomings in regards to on-site accommodation at the festival. We genuinely regret any inconvenience caused and we will make sure we improve future editions.”
“It is unfortunate that the service provider called Afro Avenue who was contracted for on-site luxury accommodation did not deliver as promised and also sold illegitimate camping accommodation through his company that we found out on the day of the festival,” reads the statement.
The event organizers have vowed to take legal action against the service provider as well as secure refunds.
“These actions greatly disappointed the festival and our esteemed clients. A civil action will be filed against them and the festival is in the process of securing refunds,” said the Nyege Nyege festival organizers.
