Walt Disney Company Africa not involved with and had no prior knowledge of the shocking Winter in Disneyland Polokwane sham show; is investigating the trash-bad brand theft done dressed in Chinese shop onesies.


The Walt Disney Company on Monday told TVwithThinus it's not involved with and had no prior knowledge of the shocking Winter in Disneyland Polokwane sham show in South Africa that took place this weekend and that the company is investigating the disgusting Disney brand theft.

Shock turned into outrage as children and parents who've paid R250 stared in disbelief on stage at a botched Mickey Mouse, a lethargic, yellow front-zipped Winnie the Pooh, and an orange awfulness looking like a Tigger rip-off, dressed in what looked like Chinese shop-bought onesies and badly dancing to house music.

TicketPro sold tickets ranging from R50 to R250, promising "Winter in Disneyland Polokwane" while paid visitors got trash-bad performances to inappropriate music on a barely-there stage, like a Chinese-in-Africa mimicking Disney event.

While people wanted and paid for Disney, they got trash, as well as organisers hiding in a room without wanting to face paid customers who wanted to know what is going on. TicketPro had no statement on Monday.

The Walt Disney Company Africa on Monday told TVwithThinus that "Disney Africa confirms that this event was neither run nor sanctioned by The Walt Disney Company Africa." Disney said it's currently investigating.
