Clean up secures ticket win to Beyoncé concert

International superstars Beyonce and Jay-Z have been confirmed to perform at the Global Citizens Festival

On Saturday, 19 November, members of the community gathered at Westgate Shopping Centre for a clean-up hosted by Global Citizen Festival, in partnership with A Re Sebetseng.

Lots of people came to support the event, especially the youth. Most of them were motivated by the opportunity to stand a chance of winning tickets for the Global Citizens Festival to take place at the FNB Stadium on Sunday, 2 December.

One of the tickets winners was Lunga Mafilika from Tshepisong. “No amount of words can express how happy I am to win these tickets. I grew up listening to Jay-Z and Beyoncé so going to see them perform live is a dream come true,” Lunga said.

The festival commemorates Nelson Mandela’s 100th birthday celebrations.
