Brown’s visit to South Africa was preceded by controversy over his previous brush with the law.
Anti-GBV group, Women for Change, was leading the charge to stop him from performing, saying supporting him is in bad taste for the country that has a high prevalence of gender-based violence (GBV).
However, his fans rejected the assertions, saying the global music icon admitted his crime and did time for it.
The heartthrob was convicted for assaulting his then pop star girlfriend, Rihanna, in 2009.
He served up to five years of supervised probation and six months of community service.
Tickets for Saturday have been sold out, while limited tickets for Sunday are still available.
Y revealed, this week, that they were providing fans with discounted ticket prices retailing at R200 each.
