Nigerian singer Tiwa Savage has cancelled her performance in South Africa over the recent attacks by South Africans on other Africans residing in their country.

Through her twitter handle, Tiwa condemned the attacks terming them as 'sick'.

"I refuse to watch the barbaric butchering of my people in SA. This is SICK. For this reason I will NOT be performing at the upcoming DSTV delicious Festival in Johannesburg on the 21st of September. My prayers are with all the victims and families affected by this,” she tweeted.

Another entertainer from Nigeria who has refused to take part in a show in South Africa is comedian Basketmouth.

He took to instagram to announce that he will not be travelling to South Africa for the show.
