The ceremony was originally scheduled for 27 and 28 March 2020 but was cancelled and replaced by an online ceremony on Wednesday, 29 April – which was delayed by HOURS.

It was supposed to start at 17h00 but was delayed until 20h00 as a result of technical issues as people waited and WAITED, some giving up and going to bed.
