Chris Brown Fever Hits South Africa
Chris Brown’s much-anticipated concerts at the FNB Stadium in Soweto have taken South Africa by storm. Initially scheduled for one show on December 14, overwhelming demand saw the addition of a second performance at the same venue.
The American superstar landed in the country earlier this week, adding to the excitement of his fans, many of whom scrambled for tickets when they first went on sale.
Makhadzi’s Upcoming Performance
South African sensation Makhadzi is set to dazzle her fans with a performance at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on December 21. The talented artist has been in the spotlight this year, not just for her music but also for a public disagreement with McKenzie.
The dispute arose earlier when Makhadzi claimed she received no support from the government after winning a prestigious BET Award. McKenzie later showed his support by purchasing over 200 tickets for her concert in October, a gesture that seems to have paved the way for their current positive rapport.
Social Media Reactions
McKenzie’s announcement has lit up social media, with fans flooding his comment section to express their gratitude and anticipation. Many are already begging him for the tickets.
