We are in negotiations right now, with promoters now and, but we’re playing South Africa in mid January 1997, in Capetown, in Durban and Johannesburg.

      @@user-nn1wy8if7m I don't know about ticket prices there, but according to Wikipedia the 5 concerts were sold out (apart from one - almost sold out). So I guess they made it work. In general it was the concert agency (that "employed" Michael) who would set ticket prices depending on the country and the economic situation there.

      The white man would have came after MJ in Africa, like they did in america, because they wanted that music catalog, and finally got it. Just like they got a black person to kill him for it, in america, they could have easily gotten another black person to do the same, in Africa.
