The founder of the popular Plett Rage student festival has responded to the outcry from ticket-holders over the event s refund policy.
On Wednesday, the 2020 event was officially canceled in light of the second wave of Covid-19 infections.

But ticket-holders were far from happy with the news that they would only be receiving a 50% refund on their tickets.
