The latest development on this story is that the City of Tshwane is taking legal action against the organizers.

The City of Tshwane on the other hand maintains that they delivered everything they were supposed to. 

According to them they have provided the necessary infrastructure to the open space where the festival is suppose to take place in the form of water supply, roads and electricity.

Channel24 confirms the news citing that Sony Music spokesperson told then that they can’t comment at this stage as "this matter is currently the subject of legal proceedings".
