The long awaited live concert by world famous band Coldplay has unexpectedly been put on hold due to the bands ties with Buddhism and the Dalai Lama. The band had been scheduled to perform in front of over 40 000 fans at the Cape Town stadium tomorrow evening. The bands manager Phil Harvey has told South African reporters that this is an outrage and that they hope to promptly resolve the matter with the Anc led government.
“The department of international relations and co-operation is dealing with it. I don’t know what will be the final thing. I don’t think that you can get a definite answer from me,” said Zuma after being questioned by News24 regarding the matter.
The Dalai Lama was invited to attend Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu's 80th birthday celebrations, to be held this coming weekend.
He had previously applied for a visa two years ago, but was refused one. The Bands close affiliation with the Dalai Lama is being rumored as the cause behind the bands sudden Visa disputes.
Anc spokesperson Jackson Mthembu has been quoted by saying that the problems surrounding the bands visa's are purely due to bottlenecks within the Department of Home Affairs and is in noway linked to the Tibetan political figure.
Cape Town waits in bated breath as both both parties have been rumored to have entered into negotiations during the early hours of the morning.
