Yes, you guessed right- its none other than Fikile “Mbaks” Mbalula, former sport and police minister who has a thing for Mrs Carter. Talk of penchant…
The Carters will be joined by a host of other international celebrities Oprah‚ Ed Sheeran‚ Usher‚ Chris Martin‚ Pharrell Williams‚ Forest Whitaker‚ Naomi Campbell‚ Sir Bob Geldof‚ Tyler Perry and Gayle King.
Talk of Naomi, apparently she barked out orders to media not to photograph her neither did she offer interviews at the press briefing in Sandton. It ain’t cool at all madame Naomi!
The Global Citizen Festival is a free and ticketless concert that rallies celebs‚ politicians’ and global leaders to end extreme poverty.
