The unknown number of thieves escaped with over one a million rand (Sh9 million) ($109,000, 84,000 euro), said Mogale. A concert employee had put the money in a safe at the stadium before locking up for the evening, said Mogale.

The 19-year-old singer had performed on the second leg of his troubled “Believe” world tour.So far the tour has seen his pet capuchin monkey quarantined, a stun gun and drugs were found on his tour bus in Sweden and Bieber came under fire for a note he wrote at the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam.
