Podcaster calls out the epidemic of missed gigs last December. Media figure Sol Phenduka from Podcast and Chill noted a weird trend of South African musicians issuing a ton of apologies over the festive season, calling it a statement and apology fest because artists were skipping performances everywhere. His comment online drew a direct reply from industry peer Cubique DJ, who blamed systemic overcommitment as the core issue. Cubique argued that accepting more than three or four shows in a single day across multiple provinces essentially guarantees a failure, as no one can be fully present in that many places.
He admitted some try to beat this unrealistic schedule, citing veteran performer Leehleza as a lone outlier who somehow managed to show up for every overbooked gig. Cubique emphasized that such a feat remains extremely rare and should not be seen as the standard operating procedure for artists.
