DJ Maphorisa is doing his part to make sure fans get to the Scorpion Kings event safely, but not everyone is convinced his transport plan is the right call.
In a selfie-style video filmed in what appears to be a stadium parking lot, with a large mosaic-patterned structure, likely FNB Stadium, visible behind him, Maphorisa leaned against a red vintage car and spoke directly to the camera in his signature casual tone. He laid out a detailed transit plan for fans travelling to what he referred to as "Skopland Kings at F&B."
What is the transport plan?
According to Maphorisa, fans should take any train to Park Station, where free buses will be waiting to ferry them to FNB Stadium. Those buses will operate from 10 a.m. to 8:30 p.m., and after the show, return buses will run from the venue back to Park Station at 11 p.m. The last train from Park Station is set to depart at 2 a.m.

For those driving, parking at Park Station while using the bus service will cost R195, while parking at any other station and using the train will set fans back R10. Maphorisa also urged fans to follow the "How Train" page for live updates.

Mzansi weighs in
The reactions reflect a broader tension between excitement for the event and real anxieties about public safety, particularly late at night at one of Johannesburg's busiest transport hubs. The video stirred a conversation online, particularly around the late-night logistics involving Park Station, which many South Africans consider unsafe after dark.
