One thing about South Africans is that they will find the humour in any situation, even a terror threat.
Content creators Lasizwe Dambuza and Banele Ndaba (Moghelingz) shared a video of the fun they will be having on Saturday.
In the video, the two are seen dancing away to Beyonce's "Break My Soul" and dodging bombs as they enjoy their time at Joburg Gay Pride.
"This will be us on Saturday in Sandton! Come rain or shine, bomb or no bomb!" wrote Dambuza.
On Twitter, the video has been viewed 922k times and on Instagram 654k and it’s raking up the number of likes.

An alert of a possible terror attack planned for Sandton this weekend was issued by the US embassy on Wednesday.
The alert brought into question whether the 33rd Johannesburg Pride March and Pride Africa Celebrations would still take place.
While it was touch and go for a moment, organisers revealed that celebrations would go ahead as planned after consultations with private security, the private security of Sandton Precinct and the authorities.
In a statement, chairperson of Johannesburg Pride, Kaye Ally, said: “From a South African perspective, we believe that all lives matter.
“Johannesburg Pride has not been directly threatened, nor have we received any communication from outside parties other than what the media assumed via the US Embassy’s website.”
