And I’m sorry I was not able to play South Africa dates previously, because I was so much looking forward to coming here. But now I am really excited about bringing the HIStory Tour - a brand new show, the HIStory Tour to South Africa. 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. My promoter, Mr. Marcel Avram is here today to announce additional dates and answer any questions you may have regarding the HIStory World Tour.

      @@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.
