Thousands of people filled the Ellis Park stadium in Johannesburg on Saturday for a 10-hour music performance which was televised to millions around the globe for World AIDS Day. The concert at the 50,000-seater Ellis Park stadium got underway on Saturday afternoon and was scheduled to last late into the night with 30 local and international artists performing, ranging from Ludacris to British artist coleen Bailey.

The event was organised by the 89-year-old Nelson Mandela’s 46664 AIDS campaign, named after his prison number from his 27 years in jail during South Africa’s apartheid regime.
