Israel Mbonyi will not be able to perform in Bujumbura as planned from 13 to 15 August 2021. The Burundian Ministry of the Interior, Community Development and Public Security has just announced this.
The concerts of the Rwandan artist, Israël Mbonyi, scheduled at the Lycée Scheppers on 13 and 14 August and on 18 August for the general public at Boulevard de l’Indépendance will not take place. The Ministry of the Interior, Community Development and Public Security has just announced this on its official Twitter account.
“The artist Israel Mbonyi who planned to perform in Burundi will not do so. He does not yet have the authorization of the competent Burundian authorities,” it reads.
The editor tried to contact the gospel music singer through different means of communication but no reaction from him had been recorded until the publication of this article.
He had signed a contract with Burundian Valentin Kavakure of “Akeza Creation” on 16 July to perform in Bujumbura on the dates mentioned above. He was hoping to make a success of his tour in Burundi this time after several failures. “After more than 100 failed invitations in 4 years, I’m finally coming and I can’t wait to see the fire on 13, 14 and 15 August,” he posted on his twitter account on 19 July.
