The City of Cape Town said in a statement that it was a wonderful display of Madiba's great impact on everyone's lives.
The City said it would like to appeal to coupon-holders to please give away any coupons that they are not using.
"This is the best way of honouring Madiba: ensuring that as many people as possible can attend the event. Anyone who has spare coupons or coupons they cannot use is encouraged to give these coupons to friends, family members, or even strangers who they know will make use of them,"spokesperson for the city Wilfred Solomons said.
The concert will be taking place at Green Point Stadium in Cape Town on Wednesday from 16:00 until 23:00 - gates will open at 14:00.
Public transport
Holders of the coupons will have entry to the stadium event as well as free access to public transport into and out of the city on the MyCiTi bus service, Golden Arrow Bus Services, and Metrorail.
There will be a free MyCiTi shuttle service from the Civic Centre to the Cape Town Stadium, and a pedestrian ‘walk of remembrance’ from the Cape Town Station to the Stadium will be activated (the fan walk).
Commuters are encouraged to use the free public transport service because roads around the stadium will be closed and it is anticipated that there will be traffic congestion.
