Safa chief medical officer Dr Ngwenya explains plan to be followed at FNB Stadium on Tuesday

Only 2,000 vaccinated fans will be allowed into the 2010 World Cup venue and it will be the first time a South African stadium opens its gates since the coronavirus pandemic brought the world to its knees more than a year ago.

“I need to clarify that this is a pilot project and it is done to check that all the systems we have put in place are adequate and ready to start allowing spectators back, and allowing the stadiums to go back to full capacity in a phased manner,” he said. “Then those people [who applied] will receive an automatic SMS or email, and it will come to their phones saying that we have received their applications. They will then be verified on the system to check whether they are fully vaccinated, because one of the requirements, in fact, the most important requirement, is for you to be vaccinated for us to allow you to come into the stadium.
