Scaffolding Collapse Near Linkin Park SAF Concert Site

According to concert promoter Big Concerts’ Facebook page, 20 people were injured when the temporary scaffolding collapsed outside Cape Town Stadium. Those injured were taken to nearby hospitals.

Apparently the scaffolding was not part of the stage. Big Concerts described the structure as a “branding activation, located adjacent to the stadium forecourt.”

According to Big Concerts’ statement, the structure was “pre-approved and certified safe.”

The promoter also said workers dismantled what remained of the structure and that the concert “is going ahead as planned.”
