Canadian singing sensation Justin Bieber is bringing his Justice World Tour to South Africa in 2022. But to attend the Cape Town or Johannesburg concert, you will need to be over the age of 12 and have a vaccine passport – the latter of which many tweeps are not happy about.
JUSTIN BIEBER JUSTICE WORLD TOUR TICKETS TO GO ON SALE
Justin Bieber will be performing at Cape Town’s DHL stadium on 28 September 2022 and in Joburg’s FNB stadium on 1 October 2022.
Big Concerts announced that tickets to the 2022 concert will officially go on sale on Friday, 3 December 2021 at 9am via Ticketmaster.
But there are several factors to consider. The age limit is 12 years old, and children 14 years and younger must be accompanied by a “responsible adult”.
In addition, all concert-goers must be “fully vaccinated” and must display proof of their vaccinations before being allowed into the venue, according to the promoter.
Insurance providers Discovery — who is an official sponsor of the show — had the following to say about the shows and vaccine mandate:
“The world is opening up again, and we’re excited that concerts are back! Beliebers, get ready for the Justin Bieber Justice World Tour.
“It’s time to be responsible and take safety precautions to enjoy the things we’ve been missing out on”.

TWEEPS REACT TO VAX PASSPORT
A number of Justin Bieber fans took to Twitter to criticise his vaccine mandate as a prerequisite to attend his Justice World Tour shows.
One tweep posted: “What is going on in the world? I am so frustrated reading all these vaccine mandates. You can still get it and pass it on after the vaccine yet you may enter a Justin Bieber concert…what the actual f***!”.

Another added: “First Justin Bieber concert I’ll miss in my life Bc of this damn vaccine”.
Another tweep asked South African fans in particular whether they were angered by the vaccine mandate.
They tweeted: “Is this a violation of rights!!? Will you be going to high court to interdiction this discrimination…?”
JUSTIN BIEBER TOUR ORGANISERS ISSUE STATEMENT
A statement from Justin Bieber’s Justice World Tour organisers claimed the vaccine mandate was in line with local government regulations.
It said in a statement: “For the health and safety of everyone attending Justin Bieber: Justice World Tour, all tour dates will abide by local and venue COVID-19 policies. Additional policies may be put in place at the discretion of the venue or tour”
In South Africa, children as young as 12 are permitted to get the Covid-19 vaccination – without their parent’s consent.
