When we reached lockdown level 1, it seemed like all was well and artists were back on stages, performing to crowds who were more than happy to see their favourite musicians.

Then winter came, COVID-19 cases started soaring again, and, just like that, lockdown levels started going up and up as well.

Once again, the entertainment industry has been brought to its knees and the struggle for everyone working within this industry is very real and constant.

As it turns out, not everyone is adhering to the strict COVID-19 regulations and rules that have been set in place by President Cyril Ramaphosa.

DJ Tira recently hosted an event in Maboneng, Johannesburg, where he performed new music from his album #RockStarForever.

In his pre-promotion for the event, he already started making some questionable remarks:

However, it was the video below that caught everyone's attention.

In the video you can see people, without masks, standing close together, packed into the venue.

A reminder of what the current lockdown regulations for social gatherings are: you can only have 50 people indoors, 100 people outdoors, while social distancing protocols and mask-wearing are mandatory.

After realising that the video had not elicited the reaction he had anticipated, he deleted the video, but he could still face major legal issues.

Everyone involved in the event, DJ Tira, the organisers, the venue, and attendees could face non-compliance charges which will result in a fine, imprisonment or both.

Considering all of this, DJ Tira did not respond to the backlash as expected. 

While you may think he would apologise for being part of such an event, his only response so far has been what most people consider quite ignorant:

Currently, only people above the age of 35 are eligible for the vaccine and the Pfizer vaccine requires two jabs, six weeks apart, getting vaccinated is not as easy as Tira believes.

Has he been keeping up to date with the vaccine rollout statistics?

There is also no way that everyone at this event is over 35 and fully vaccinated.

Many Tweeps are also concerned because they believe situations like this could cause President Ramaphosa to move back to stricter lockdown levels, which continues to put artists and the entertainment industry at dire risk:

People are also stating that this is a common occurrence and there are many more people who are guilty of doing exactly the same thing, they're just not getting caught:

While we all can sympathise with the entertainers struggling to get through this pandemic, there are many other industries facing the same trials and there is nothing they can do about it.

The only way to get through this is to work together and hopefully, people will be able to once again earn a living and things will be back to "normal" soon.
