Entertainment commentator Phil Mphela shared a video showing a raving crowd singing along to a timeless Busta Rhyme classic.
"One of the coldest nights, if not the coldest night of 2024, in Johannesburg," the caption read.
The 35-second clip, recorded by someone further back in the audience, captures Busta Rhymes performing his timeless classic, I Know What You Want, released in February 2003 and features Mariah Carey.
The warm Johannesburg crowd can be heard singing along to the song word for word, clearly taken, and the Grammy award-winning rapper can be seen on the projector taking in the electric scenes, a broad smile lighting up his face.

However, plenty in the comments lamented the cold weather and goated those who rose above it to attend the warm concert scenes.
