Emtee apologises to fans after missing Pretoria Kota Festival
Emtee has issued a formal apology for missing the Pretoria Kota Festival and has confirmed he will connect with fans in Tembisa this Saturday.
Rapper Emtee has apologised to fans after he was unable to perform at the Pretoria Kota Festival, according to SA Hip Hop Mag.
The Amanzi hitmaker released a statement through Emtee Records saying that “unforeseen circumstances” kept him from taking the stage. The statement did not say what those circumstances were, and no further explanation has been made public.
What Emtee said
In the statement, the artist addressed the fans who had been waiting to see him perform. “I sincerely apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience caused,” he said.
He then turned to his next appearance, saying he is looking forward to meeting supporters in Tembisa on Saturday, 7 November 2026. “Thank you for your continued love and support,” he added.
SA Hip Hop Mag noted that the apology comes while Emtee continues to balance new music with live shows on the local circuit. The publication described the Tembisa date as a quick chance for his loyal following to see the Emtee Records boss perform.
What this means for fans
The Tembisa date is only two days away, so fans who want to attend should act soon. A few practical points:
- The date given is Saturday, 7 November 2026.
- The statement as reported does not give a venue, start time or ticket details, so check Emtee Records’ official channels for confirmed information.
- The statement does not mention refunds or a rescheduled Pretoria performance. Fans who planned to attend the Kota Festival should contact the festival organisers directly for any updates.
Until Emtee or the organisers say more, the reason for the missed performance remains unexplained, and fans should rely on official announcements rather than speculation.
