    Lucozade, one of the official sponsors of the Linkin Park tour to South Africa, has announced it is no longer actively promoting the tour, which has one concert left in Jozi.

    This morning, we reported that Florentina Heaven-Popa’s family would be taking legal action against the relevant parties after she died as a result of her wounds sustained during the accident at Cape Town Stadium.

    Lucozade added to their official response earlier:

    South Africa Concert Accident

    We are deeply saddened by these events and extend our sincere condolences to the family of the bereaved.

    Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been injured and those who witnessed the tragedy.

    As tour sponsors of the concert, we are in close contact with the concert organisers and investigating authorities and will cooperate fully with them in their investigations.

    This has been a real tragedy and we are deeply saddened. Out of respect for victims of this accident we will not be actively promoting our tour sponsorship up to and at the final event.

    Two independent structural engineers have already told eNCA that they were concerned that the scaffolding had not been secured properly.

    Authorities are on site investigating the incident.

      What a publicity nightmare….perhaps they could spend some of the money on the familes

      Very sad. Is lucozade to blame ?

    • Vernon Wolf

      this is yet another Big Concerts fuck up… simple as that!

      This is such a tough call. I really don’t think anyone is truly to blame in this case, apart from perhaps the engineers who approved the structure. If they felt it should have been secured then it should have been done, or disembled. It’s not Lucozade’s fault, guaranteed they would have secured it if they had been told to do so. They also can’t give the family money as they would be admitted they were wrong in some way. Sadly, it does come down to money at the end of the day. I think Big Concerts are the least to blame for this incident. They bought an amazing band to South Africa, and unfortunately a freak accident happened. Such is life.
