Due to the nature of the event, people will have to make use of parking at the Pretoria Technical High School, Pretoria High School for Girls and the NG Kerk Pretoria East grounds.

Tributes to Joost will be performed by some of his favourite South African artists, and a host of speakers will be present.

The service will be broadcast live from the SuperSport website and televised on SuperSport 1.
