Beyonce: We hope we made you proud, South Africa

Beyonce made her South African fans’ day on Tuesday when she finally posted about her time in Mzansi for the Global Citizen Festival. A few days after the concert, her fans took to social media to air their disappointment after they saw nothing about South Africa being posted on her Instagram page.

Beyonce rubbed salt in their wounds when she posted about her performance at a wedding in India. Her fans questioned how she had time to post about a wedding and not her time in Mzansi.

But now she has, and her fans are happy – well not everyone of course.

She said: “I felt so much positivity and pride in the audience at Global Citizen: Mandela 100. Madiba, Johannesburg, and all of my African sisters and brothers, we hope we made you as proud as you all make us. South Africa was an extraordinary trip for me and my family. God bless.”

While some say she has finally acknowledged them, some say she only posted because someone told her South Africans were complaining.

Anyway I suppose as we are poor and tickets were not paid for you were not overly interested. The Indian wedding paid you hence the spread upload. Poor South Africans, Americans have never liked us. It’s best we stick to our own very talented artists who appreciate our support whole heartedly. I feel Beyoncé uploaded the pics after realising how hurt we are for loving someone who doesn’t seem to care.”

While llunasole said: “As much as I love her I wouldn’t usually comment on her stuff but I feel like this video should shut down all the people that were throwing salt because she hadn’t yet posted a anything from this because this video is DOPE! And so much better than a couple photos…And this is the show that so many people felt enraged abt because they weren’t allowing the entire thing aired on television right?”

Beyonce scored extra points for editing her performance videos and including DJ Maphorisa and Moonchild’s hit song iWalk ye Phara in the background.
