TicketPro has reportedly confirmed that only 6,000 tickets have been sold so far, while sales remain open as Monyake continues to insist the show will proceed on 13 December 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Kanye West\u2019s management has reportedly been contacted for an official statement, while potential sponsors are now calling on them to distance themselves from Monyake and his company amid the brewing scandal.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Samuel Monyake of Monyake Group responsible for bringing Kanye West to South Africa is a scam and a fraud.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 we are learning that samuel monyake\u2019s company monyake group is in the process of deregistration with the cipc.<br \/>\u2013 samuel monyake has not made any payment to kanye west\u2019s\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XJBTpxTGkD\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/XJBTpxTGkD<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Musa Khawula (@Musa_Khawula) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Musa_Khawula\/status\/1981767146943242383?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">October 24, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 4 -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\" async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- Africa tv video display -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-1669381584671856\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"3579572842\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script data-jetpack-boost=\"ignore\">\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n#Musa #Khawula #exposes #alleged #fraud #Kanye #Wests #planned #South #Africa #concert<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#13; Musa Khawula claims Kanye West\u2019s SA show organizer Samuel Monyake is a fraud A major controversy has erupted around&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":39717,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-39716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mzansi"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39716","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=39716"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39716\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":39718,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/39716\/revisions\/39718"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/39717"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=39716"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=39716"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/eduzim.co.zw\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=39716"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
