A group of protesters have gathered outside Big
Concerts' office building in Gardens, Cape Town to take a stand against
Lady Gaga performing in South Africa.
This gathering follows a protest that was held by the South African Council of Churches in Pretoria last week.

The receptionist at Big Concerts' offices in Cape Town, who wished to
remain unnamed, told reporters that protesters arrived at approximately
10:30 on Friday morning.
"There are about 30 protesters. They did notify us that they will be coming," she said.
According
to her, this was the first time they had encountered protesters at
their offices, and Big Concerts COO John Langford's personal assistant
had gone down to meet with the protesters.
Exponential growth of Satanism
The
protesters used placards to show their anger towards Lady Gaga touring
South Africa at the end of November and December, adding to the strong
stance the South African Council of Churches have taken on Lady Gaga's
pending tour.
A peaceful march was held on Friday 9 November to
the department of Arts and Culture in Pretoria, where the South African
Council of Churches handed over a written request to have Lady Gaga
banned from South Africa.
Heat magazine reported on Twitter that the request was signed by the chief director of Arts and Culture, Duduzile Nchoba.
Reverend Mxolisi Sonti, secretary of the youth forum, told the daily newspaper Beeld they
are afraid of the extent of Satanism in South Africa at this time, and
that Gaga's visit could lead to an exponential growth in Satanism.
