But what was initially supposed to be an hour-long performance turned into a short-lived 30-minute show.

However, the Heart Of A Women hitmaker explained on social media that the event's promoter was at fault.

“@steynent, as the promoter of the event refused to pay the JOC, so it messed up the whole show even though we were early. Love you guys, until next time,’ she wrote.
