The Delicious International Food and Music Festival is set to continue despite losing their headline sponsor, DStv, after 12 years of partnership.

French media company Canal+ withdrew their sponsorship as part of cost-cutting measures after their takeover of MultiChoice.

The festival organisers said on Monday the event would still go ahead on September 19 and 20.

“As this valued partnership comes to a close, we are excited to step into a new chapter.

“The Delicious Festival remains an independently owned and produced event, built to evolve and built to last. We remain committed to delivering the world-class music, exceptional food, and rich cultural experiences that our audience has come to expect.”
