The Annual music festival OppiKoppi has been cancelled for 2019.
In a statement released on social media, organisers of the event credit the cancellation to the recent increase in crime at festivals and concerts across the country.
"By taking a gap year, we are giving ourselves the breathing room to redesign the festival and bring in the necessary changes without impacting the festivalgoer by increasing ticket prices.
"We believe that in doing this, we will bring everyone a fresh new festival, ready to take music lovers forward for the next 25 years," read the statement.
The 25th edition of the annual music festival will return in 2020.
