UPDATE: Afro-house group House Guru Gang has announced that their dispute with SWAPO over treatment at the Kavango East Star Rally has been resolved. In a letter to SWAPO Party Secretary General, the group expressed concerns over a nearly four-hour wait for their performance and a payment reduction from N$15,000 to N$5,000, despite fellow artists reportedly receiving a minimum of N$10,000.

Separately, House Guru Gang confirmed that one of its members, Kahengutji "Chahelman" Richard, has departed the group. "I have decided to step back and explore new paths, new challenges, and new dreams," Chahelman shared in a statement.
