Westgate Mall Terrorist Attack Acutely Affects Highly Hyped Events

In a sudden turn of events, event organizers of this year’s Oktoberfest 2013 announced that they had cancelled the third day and final leg (Sunday) of the beer festival due to the terrorist attack that took place at Westgate Mall.

The last day dubbed “Wind Down Sunday” was supposed to see Eric Wainaina, Kidum, Denise Gordon, Different Faces, Electrique DJ’s & The Beat Band Parade. Unfortunately that was never to be.

In the same breath, this year’s CBA Africa Concours d’Elegance has been postponed.

The organizers of the event through a statement said it would be inappropriate to hold the classic car show at a time when so many people are grieving in the aftermath of the Westgate Mall tragedy.

The statement added that “It would be totally inappropriate to hold the Concours at a time when so many people are grieving and it has been decided to postpone the event as a mark of respect.”

Concours has been allocated a new date set for November 17th 2013.
