One Direction 'still intact'

One Direction is still coming to South Africa even though Zayn Malik has announced he has left the band.

The four remaining members said they would continue as a four-piece band.

Malik said he was leaving the band because he wanted to be a normal 22-year-old, who could relax and have private time out of the spotlight.

The band responded: "We're really sad to see Zayn go, but we totally respect his decision."

The band performs at FNB Stadium this weekend.
