Sho Madjozi spoke of her worries on the Africans Unite concert which has being cancelled; and also dragged the Nigerian singer, Burna Boy who was part of the line-up.
Taking to Twitter, in a long thread, the singer said the xenophobia that occurred in SA was a marketing strategy by the organizers of the concert.
“It was so clear that the issue of xenophobia in South Africa was being used more as a marketing ploy by the organizers of the “Africa Unite” concert than as a way to effect real change.”
Sho also revealed that she declined performing at the concert, but also dragged Burna Boy
“It is also a problem and super ironic to threaten to physically attack someone (AKA) in the name of *ending* violence.”
“That was my worry when I declined to perform. Just from the headline act they chose, it was clear that they wanted a controversial figure more than someone, eg Wizkid, who was engaged in the issue in a constructive way.”

How much damage did it do to African unity when several Nigerian artists claimed Nigerians were being killed in their numbers here when they were not? It has to be cleared up.

And asking people to accept this misinformation because of the lawlessness that did happen is not going to work. No one will agree to plead guilty to murder because they did something else wrong. No one will say they killed someone again today because they did so years ago.
Sho madjozi reveals that she’s working on a solution, however, Burna Boy isn’t a solution to her.

It’s really sad and clearly there is a problem. I made a whole thread at the time about how complex the whole thing is : https://twitter.com/shomadjozi/status/1169020599827673090?s=21 …

The reason we have bad leaders is because we want bad answers. We want people to say “foreign nationals are completely innocent” or to say “foreign nationals are completely responsible for crime”.

I obviously don’t have the solution (I’m working on it
), but I do know that it won’t be solved by a concert with someone who has been inflammatory, threatened violence and spread falsehoods on this matter
