The 2018 Global Citizen Festival: Mandela 100 was hosted at FNB Stadium in Soweto on Sunday evening to celebrate Nelson Mandela’s centenary.

The event was marred by violence and mugging as concert-goers left the venue. Times Select journalist Jessica Levitt was one of those who witnessed an attack on a woman. She describes what happened.
