'We want to get more people vaccinated, get herd immunity, and then we can have more people coming into the stadium.'

Expectations were that government would have increased the number of people allowed to attend local football matches after two test events: Bafana Bafana’s World Cup qualifier at FNB Stadium against Ethiopia last month and last weekend’s MTN8 final between Mamelodi Sundowns and Cape Town City in Durban.Safa has again been given the green light to allow spectators at FNB Stadium when Bafana host Zimbabwe for their penultimate 2022 World Cup qualifiers next Thursday.

“We are an organised [structure]. I am going to talk for myself [as a medical practitioner] and Safa in this regard. We’ve got an added responsibility to make sure that football doesn’t become a super spreader of Covid-19. If we want to get to full capacity of the stadium, and for us to get there, we need to make sure that we do not contribute to the resurgence of the virus. That’s why we are being extra cautious with the systems that we are putting in place,” he said.

“The minister of sport, arts and culture is quite advanced in doing the phased-in approach of allowing more spectators.

I hope this ban encourages supporters to attend and pack up stadiums when lifted.

Because its not about health. It's about control.

Why are they not open for Football lovers but open for Political parties?

I gave listening ears to her mentorship. It haven't been easy with my investment of $300 i receive $1000 in return I don't want a huge return I only wanted a trusted trader educator. I want to use this time to give due appreciation to Mrs rosemarysimon_1

I for one cannot blame psl for refusing fans at the stadiums , because government has no direction , the president said only 2000 number be allowed but during his campaign more than 10000 were seen with him at all the rallies , psl rather wait for the right time.

There is no greater joy than having financial stability and a life free of debts, that’s why I keep tweeting about lisamiaBTC it has been a pleasure collaborating with you...there is no other way I can show my appreciation other than tweeting the good deed you have done

It is not happening! keep your stadiums and wel get the vibes at bars and taverns while enjoying the beautiful game (EPL)!🤣🤣🤣🤣

Who's WE?

...besides, are you referring to human beings as the herd? Awunamahloni!!!

This is very different from the direction and strategy of HealthZA

Didn't you have large gatherings during elections campaign and people rallies without vaccination. We are black but not DUMB!!!

No herd immunity required at stadiums, when holding election rallies.

😂😂😂😂 Ae.
