Yoh, talk about a plot twist!

After months of fans counting down the days, Kelly Khumalo has dropped a bombshell — her much-anticipated show has been called off, just weeks before showtime!

The event, meant to celebrate 20 years of Kelly dominating the music scene, was set to light up the Meropa Outdoor Arena in Polokwane on 15 November 2025. But now, it’s all been brought to a sudden halt.

Taking to Instagram, the star broke the sad news in an official statement on Saturday 24 October 2025. Though she kept the details under wraps, Kelly assured her supporters that refunds are on the way and hinted at possible new plans down the line.

Here’s what she had to say in her caption:

“My sincere apologies, tough decisions had to made so this can be done right,” she wrote.

Then she shared this statement:
