Social media reacts to the Burna Boy ticket fraud case
While most South Africans were proud of single-handedly sabotaging the concert because of Damini's disrespect, the new fraud saga came with new opinions:
@D.Resende had information:
"I know people who bought the non-refundable tickets."
@KwazokayG was shocked:
"It shocked me... The way I was ready for this concert wow."
@user747945140222702 was not moved:
"Can't say I'm shocked."
@Uno Mbovane was confused:
"Ohhh, so it’s not because the public is still upset about his Twitter rant?"
@YourMommaToo was happy:
"It’s because of my heart, I couldn’t get a babysitter so I could attend."
@Lethi revealed:
"Omg, they were giving away FREE tickets not so long ago at clubs!"
@okay_so_jess also shared:
"This is so interesting since the EFF student council at Wits was giving these tickets away if you voted for them as SRC."
@Trish was disappointed:
"SA is a playground I tell you. Why is there no one arrested?"
@Lucky Mokoena said:
"It was going to be empty anyway, he's calling us xenophobic yet he wants our support."
