"Tonight's J-burg show cancelled. SA authorities REFUSE TO LET ME INTO YOUR COUNTRY. Trying to resolve it," Brand fumed.
But it was all a bit of a storm in a tea cup as just a few days later the philosophising comic was allowed in.
"South Africa! I'm allowed in! AUTHORITY YIELDED TO YOUR PEOPLE POWER! I'll be on stage tomorrow night in J-Burg #MessiahComplex," he happily wrote.
