DJ Maphorisa must be smiling ear-to-ear after international superstar Beyoncé used one of his famous songs, iWalk Ye Phara as a backing track to a flashback she posted back when she was in SA for the Global Citizen Festival. 

The festival, which took place two weeks ago, saw thousands of South African global citizens flock to FNB Stadium in Johannesburg to enjoy performances from big names such as Coldplay's Chris Martin, Pharrell, Ed Sheeran, and even Queen Bey herself. 

Feeling thankful for the time she spent in SA and at the festival, Mrs Knowles-Carter took to her Instagram to share a message to Mzansi.

"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," she said in an Instagram post.

After settling in at home from a beautiful trip to South Africa and India, I am still in awe that 7.1 BILLION dollars was raised to aid Global Citizen in its efforts to eradicate extreme poverty. I’d like to give my praise and respect to all the speakers, performers, and volunteers who donated their time to contribute to making positive change.  Every person in the audience at FNB Stadium earned a seat because they generously donated their time to help their community. Now their efforts and the money raised will help improve education, healthcare, sanitation, women’s rights, and countless other causes for millions across the globe. 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.
