Organisers of the Thank You SABC Music Concert have had to fend off questions around the near-empty show which was held at Orlando Stadium on Saturday.

Controversy has plagued the show ever since it was announced last week.

At first a press release was sent out stating that the SABC would be footing the bill, only for it to later backtrack, saying the statement had not been released on its behalf.

TMG Entertainment then revealed that promoter Morris Roda was one of the key role players in the concert.

  •  

Roda was previously investigated by authorities after a failed Miriam Makeba tribute concert which cost taxpayers millions.

Artists told TMG Entertainment that they had not been paid and would not perform unless payment was made.

Scenes of an empty stadium dominated social media over the weekend.

  •  

TMG Entertainment was at Orlando Stadium where people told us they thought the concert was "boring."

Tickets were initially on sale for R100 but sellers at the Orlando Stadium told us they reduced prices to R20 because sales were so low.

Here's 5 pictures from the day
