The countdown is on! This Friday, 20 March, thousands of music lovers will gather at the SunBet Arena at Time Square in Pretoria for the highly anticipated Global Citizen Move Afrika show.
Grammy Award-winning superstar Doja Cat will be taking centre stage, performing some of her biggest global hits in what promises to be an unforgettable night in South Africa.

Why use Park & Ride?
