Lucozade, one of the official sponsors of the Linkin Park tour to South Africa, has announced it is no longer actively promoting the tour, which has one concert left in Jozi.
This morning, we reported that Florentina Heaven-Popa’s family would be taking legal action against the relevant parties after she died as a result of her wounds sustained during the accident at Cape Town Stadium.
Lucozade added to their official response earlier:
South Africa Concert Accident
We are deeply saddened by these events and extend our sincere condolences to the family of the bereaved.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those who have been injured and those who witnessed the tragedy.
As tour sponsors of the concert, we are in close contact with the concert organisers and investigating authorities and will cooperate fully with them in their investigations.
This has been a real tragedy and we are deeply saddened. Out of respect for victims of this accident we will not be actively promoting our tour sponsorship up to and at the final event.
Two independent structural engineers have already told eNCA that they were concerned that the scaffolding had not been secured properly.
Authorities are on site investigating the incident.
