End of an era: Riky Rick’s partner, Bianca Naidoo, confirmed the end of Cotton Fest. Picture: rikyrickworld/Instagram Bianca Naidoo, who was the late Riky Rick’s partner, confirmed this in a statement about the festival’s disbandment after seven years due to an internal dispute. Party one is understood to be Naidoo and the Makhado family.
The other party is the shareholders, who are believed to be Cotton Fest co-founder and director, Alain Ferrier of Beanstalk. Beanstalk is an events production company with at least 14 years of industry experience. Speaking toThe Citizen, the Beanstalk team said Ferrier is unable to respond to the questions shared with him at this stage.
However, in their response to this publication, the Beanstalk team said Ferrier is no longer a director and has not held that role for some time. “The press statement does, however, appear to contain various inaccuracies,” the Beanstalk team said about Naidoo’s statement. Cotton Fest was founded by Riky Rick in 2018, with its first edition being held the following year.
