Easing of South Africa’s strict lockdown will not apply to sport

Sport in the country and across the world has been shut down since March by the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic.The country itself has been subject to a stricter quarantine that will have lasted five weeks by the time it is scheduled to be lifted on April 30.

A draft government presentation, seen by Reuters on Wednesday, is considering some flexibility but suggests any gathering of more than 10 people will be prohibited for an indeterminate period in an effort to keep the infection rate down. The PSL was on the cusp of a potentially exciting title run-in with the country’s best-supported club, Kaizer Chiefs, edging closer to ending a five-year trophy drought.Football clubs draw the majority of their revenue from lucrative television rights deals and have been largely untouched by the coronavirus lockdown but are keen to resume, even if behind closed doors.

This country has real problems. Sports is not one of them.

Mmusi Maimane: Poor and working class South Africans are becoming desperateWithout sounding histrionic, we face the twin threats of Covid-19 and the revolt of poor people. The burning of schools, the protests – these are the first signs of what is to come if politicians do not start to listen and respond, writes Mmusi Maimane Mmusi doesn't come up with a solutions but always points fingers like he did when he originally was- DA. He had failed, and he wants to emerge in the name of the pandemic. What a missed shot, fails to sink the black ball. Dula hae man. Musi is right. He is often on the ground with the people. Not in a blue light brigade. 250 000 food parcels is a joke. Really. Work it out. And now we paying people to have more baby’s they can’t afford. The lockdown was a huge mistake. More people will die due to the economic ramification then the death toll of covid.
