Sprout Africa, the organizers of Tugende Mu Kikadde have cancelled the event amid coronavirus concerns
The Tugende Mu Kikadde show that was scheduled for 4 April has been cancelled and postponed to an unknown date due to coronavirus concerns that have spread the deadly virus to almost all of Uganda’s neighbouring countries.
The decision “was been taken as a precautionary measure to protect the lives of many loyal customers and performers, sponsors and the country as a whole as coronavirus continues to spread to other countries,” according to an official release from Sprout Africa management.
‘’This was a difficult but necessary decision, and we are sure that you share both our disappointment and our understanding of why we had to postpone the event to such a decision’’
TweetThe official announcement did not mention a new date when the Tugende Mu Kikadde 2020 will take place but stressed that they are looking to announce a further date for this concert to take place in case the coronavirus is tackled.
