Macufe festival is underway despite the court case - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

The Mangaung African Cultural Festival is underway in Bloemfontein following a two-year break. That’s despite a court action by the losing bidder who claimed that the government had manipulated processes to favour the event organiser, C-Squared.

DS Consortium claims the adjudication process was riddled with irregularities. They want the High Court to nullify the multi-million rand event management contract involving government and C-Squared.“With the stats of ticket sales it shows that people are keen, are looking forward to Macufe despite what is happening in public about the court,”

“Remember everyone has a right to challenge anything that they think according to them is right but I don’t think that will dent the image of Macufe,” However, the event has not been welcomed by all as some say the festival does not benefit the province.
