“At this point, if everything had gone according to our plan, we would be at 75% attendance in stadiums.

Good Minister We are led

These people are so stupid, they just like to be in control

Can't we just take Nathi's department to court

Nonsense

200000 for ANC manifesto but 2000 for professional players

Masepa

Uyabheda lo

Wa hlanya Wena,why is it like that

Tell NathiMthethwaSA to tell us how many were there by the MYANC Rally during elections....

2000 spectators se gat. We need and force full capacity attendance Nathi, for only vaccinated folks. Us that difficult for your political intelligence level? Wise up man, shed your political ego and ascend to spectator aspirations: full stadium attendance if vaccinated. Simple!!!

La bora banaka

Who's rule?

They said 2000 in polokwane but they were more than that mxm

Vuleka mbobo! EFFSouthAfrica

What is he saying about Marikana Mass Murders NathiMthethwaSA uyaz icala aliboli angithi

Akaze ngibone minister eyisiwula njengalena

A clear definition of what a 3rd world country is. 1st world country are doing away with all restrictions

MXM!

Nathi is stupid

Your puppet wena

It's a stupid rule.

2000 yaaz uyibiza kamnandi why you not asking England kuthi benza njani sowuthi 2000 remains nxa rhaa sismaaan

2000 remains the rule but politicians spectators be 23500 🚮🚮🚮🚮🚮

This guy he's so useless

Mnx

MTHETHWA what an EMBISCILE with no logic, common sense or rational. During elections political parties ignored this and THE ANC CRIMINAL DID NOT DO OR SAY A THING. VOETSEK MTHETHWA VOETSEK. SLEGTE SKELM BLIKSEM.

This man which sports or cultural event has he ever participated in looks like he doesn't know what he is talking about

Awu kodwa Nyambose wadlala ngathi 😞

Remains the rule when DSTV says so on those cup games mxm why not on LEAGUE games

Julius_S_Malema come see my leader.

Lodoti lo, this one has been useless Minister for decades &for some reasons he makes it to be a Minister🤨. We vaccinated so that we can go to crowded Malls, Schools, Churches, workplaces ....and for some reasons we are limited to to go to an are which is in the open, not covered

Pure stupidity and arrogance this, imagine FNB stadium with 2000 spectators 🤷‍♂️

All political parties were supposed to be charged for breaking the WHO health regulations during LGE2021 rallies but since it's the PresidencyZA MYANC who needed such..rules and laws were given leave just like Parliament security management unit, so we burn like Parliament

Tired of this madness.

This is not supposed to be a sports minister

What is this minister trying to prove?

Uyanya wena nja NathiMthethwaSA

We must mobilise and go gate crush at the stadium 🤣🤣🤣

'Thousands' of people within a confined area like a large mall is okay although an open space like a stadium, its not permitted. Sport is also a 'business'.

NathiMthethwaSA niyaganga nyambose kodwa ayii

Chiefs v pirates will be for the rich 🤣🤣🤣

Leadership is not provided here.

Mxm!

Msoon wakhe lowo

Mthethwa 😏

All he knowz is condolences lo

JJ must come for all these ministers - incompetence.

DiscoNicholas Does he care about people or department he works under?

Makehle eskhundleni wohlulekile

Teams must just open stadiums. ANC filled Peter mokaba stadium two weeks back. Where was the rule?

That’s what you get when you put a clueless person as a sports minister

Let’s go to the stadiums singezwa ngalo baba ungazi kuthi mele enzeni

Boks_26 When is the next reshuffle? This one doesn’t know what he’s doing

OfficialPSL why are you not allowing the 2000 fans in Stadia.

Cicicici these people 🙄 soycelivuthiwe

O wa bora gaitse sepe leka sports eish MA Anc ona mare batena

Going to closed stadium if not coming with out side nd block gate.

Uyasdakelwa struu lo

Mind of a Rat

Football supporters in the country must just go to the stadiums when domestic football resumes. Force, fight to get inside. NathiMthethwaSA

His Rule, wake up people. It is no longer about what is good for the masses.

I nathi badla mali kphela

Why was it full capacity during political rallies or were those dfrnt blacks?

For teams with low fan base

He's really a joke with no backbone always told what to say or do at his Department and not concerned about people's jobs and lives due to not returning fully at Stadiums while their political campaigns were at full capacity

50% capacity neh? 🤣😂Cabinet decisions seem like they’re made in the kitchen nje…

Another ANC clown suffering from 👇

But for political rallies there is no limitation, ave iwumsangano ipolitics

Is it him saying this or it's the white families running South Africa?

We are led! Very lucky to have our wise leaders steering us through this difficult time. Viva

What achievements has that portfolio of his noted? And such achievements taken South Africa forward? ONathi badla imali yesizwe engabe kwenziwa okungcono ngayo.

It really doesn't not make sense,

🙄🙄🙄 South Africa is a Scam xem 🤞🤞🤞🤞 something is cooking here

Media is responsible for Covid fear mongering and not telling the truth. Tell the people that UK and Denmark have lifted all COVID-19 restrictions. Life is going back to normal. The great COVID SCAM IS OVER!!!!

Mxm!

Nathi wanyela

This is 1 of the young useless minister

This thing Iam ashamed to even calling this thing a minister,he is so useless hayi I can't even rate him,Malawi president must come la

This one must b fired

'Beacuse I say so'... No science behind the decision 🤦🏽‍♂️

Uxoshwa nini uNathi? Like go back to being a chief whip ye caucus or whatever... just go do ANC things ay 🙇🏾‍♀️

The face of uselessness

This has to be one minister whose lost touch with reality, everything he utters is madness nje.. Ahhy!

Why in Cameroon is a full capacity, Wena you say 2,000. Ga o tlo re bhora

No logic

Reason? 🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️🤷🏾‍♂️
