Chaos at Macufe briefing session held at the Free State Sport Science Institute as Mangaung Community Council (MCC) demands a Bloemfontein born and bred service provider.
According to sources at the session, the Department of Sports, Arts, and Culture is represented by Vincent Khetha, Chief Director of Cultural Affairs, Mario Sefo, Manager in the office of HOD, and Tankiso Zola, acting Chief Director of Corporate Services, and Masisi, acting SCM Director among other officials.
It is alleged that one of the attendees was forced to delete the footage of the commotion after the MCC demanded everyone who is not from Bloemfontein leave the briefing session and demanded the service provider be from Bloemfontein, two names were mentioned (names withheld).
They did not even say Free State but Bloemfontein. So much entitlement for people claiming to represent the community.
The department advertised the Macufe tender last Friday and the closing date is the 5th of August 2022.
To show how disastrous the 2022 edition of Macufe is going to be it looks like the organizers don’t even know the capacities of the venues, everyone knows that the biggest venue at PACOFS is Sand Dupplesis Threatre with a capacity of 900 but Macufe organizers say it can take 5000 people.
Worse, the traditional Divas concert which is normally on Friday at Old Grey will now be on Thursday at Dr Molemela Indoor Center or Vista University.
This is a developing story.

Good day,
Please include an artist like Mantsa from Lesotho in the main even of Saterday,. People really enjoy mmino wa Lesotho ha ba thatbile, that would spice up happiness in the event.
Should you invite him, you’ll never forget to spice up the main event of MACUFE.
Thanks a lot for giving us a platform to come up with ideas.
