Thuthuka Zindlovu, popularly known as Dlala Thukzin, has apologised to his followers ahead of his first international debut.

The DJ, who was set to perform at Parallel in Amsterdam, announced the delay of his visa had caused him to postpone his visit to the country, explaining he would only be able to attend his gig at Village Underground in London.

“I went through the application for my UK and EU visas, but only my UK visa came back in time approved, so I am not able to make it to Amsterdam. I'm sorry to all my fans and the organisers, I have been looking forward to this show for a long time.

“If you are in Amsterdam and have a ticket, the line-up is very dope, so go enjoy the show. Thankfully, the club Parallel, the descendants team and I are working on securing a new date this year,” he wrote.

Thukzin recently parted ways with his former manager. 

In June 2022, the DJ shared a statement alleging promoters had to pay him double to make sure he appeared at the gigs they booked him for and warned his supporters and promoters to refrain from sending his former manager money.

“After a series of reports for people trying to get hold of me through him [Ayanda 'Benzito' Mthembu] for my services, there are instances where my clients have been depositing money into his bank account without my knowledge.”

“I would like to apologise to my clients and fans at large for the confusion and inconvenience caused by this. The Dlala Thukzin brand is my bread and butter and I take full responsibility for his actions. I would like to request that you guys stop communicating with him regarding any business that involves me, my business or my brand. Do not send any money to him,” read the statement.
