Sports minister Nathi Mthethwa says he was not aware that journalists were not allowed at live football matches and believes 'it is not correct'.Sports minister Nathi Mthethwa says it “does not sound right” that football journalists have not been allowed to attend live Premier Soccer League matches at stadiums, despite government regulations allowing media to attend.
The minister said the regulation allowing the media to attend live events had been in place even before the stipulation to allow 2,000 vaccinated fans. The PSL experimented with a pilot project for the safe return of fans in October last year when 2,000 vaccinated spectators and a limited controlled number of journalists attended the MTN8 final in Durban. Safa allowed limited numbers of journalists for Bafana Bafana’s 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Ethiopia and Zimbabwe at FNB Stadium.
While Mthethwa acknowledged that individual sports organisations may have a prerogative or reason not to allow journalists, the minister said he would engage sports umbrella body the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee over the matter.

Sport minister slams EFF’s march over stadiums as ‘populist theatrics’Minister of sport Nathi Mthethwa has described the planned picket by the EFF outside his office in Pretoria on Thursday as ill-advised and populist theatrics. NathiMthethwaSA put it in that big head of yours that the stadiums were not only built for political parties to show off, but mainly for sports fan to enjoy the beautiful games What has this man done for our sport? He was minister of artists and culture and failed dismally, now a minister of sport still failing. We're led by hyenas indeed in this country who are doing each other nothing but favors on the expense of taxpayers 's money. Performative politics- the only way the EFF knows how to operate.
