Kabza De Small and Cassper Nyovest are being called out for their silence about the Zanzou nightclub drama.

The two artists recently performed at Zanzou, which led many to believe they had a positive relationship with the nightclub.

Their failure to publicly condemn the incident, in which men were allegedly humiliated and abused, has prompted backlash from concerned South Africans.

Kwaito singer L'vovo Derrango urged artists to have a say about the abuse that occurred at the entertainment establishment. The Newcastle-born singer said what happened at the club is inhumane. He said the venue is for entertainment, not violent acts.

“I call all the creative arts members to rally behind the victims to bring the culprits to book, because those acts were barbaric. No matter what the reasons are, no-one deserves to be treated in that way. I'm saddened by the clips I saw,” he told TshisaLIVE.
