South African rapper Cassper Nyovest donated R100 000 to aid the victims of xenophobia, after a concert held in Zimbabwe.
This comes after Zimbabweans warned they would retaliate for the violence perpetrated by South Africans against foreign nationals in SA.
Zimbabweans threatened to retaliate should the rapper go through with his concert in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe on 25 April.
The concert went off with no violence, and as promised, Nyovest donated his entire performance fee from his concert, by handing over a cheque for R100 000 from his entertainment company, Family tree Media.
The artist, whose real name is Refiloe Phoolo, said on Facebook, “Did my part in helping the world today. I donated R100 000 through my company @familytreemediaza to rebuilding post xenophobia. We starting up sustainable businesses for victims which will not only help them rebuild but also create opportunities for them to help others. I don’t have all the solutions but I’m sure we can make things better by working together.”
