President Cyril Ramaphosa has announced that football fanatics will be allowed to return to stadiums after the latest Government Gazette adjusted lockdown regulations.
This comes after the president addressed the nation on Tuesday night on developments in South Africa’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the new regulations, venues can now take up to 50% of their capacity, subject to strict adherence to all health protocols and distance measures.
That means the Premier Soccer League supporters will be allowed to fill the stands soon with their abundant roars and rumbles.
“The approach going forward is that both indoor and outdoor venues can now take up to 50% of their capacity provided that the criteria for entrance are proof of vaccination or a COVID test not older than 72 hours,” said Ramaphosa.
“These measures will take effect from tomorrow, Wednesday the 23rd of March 2022, once the new regulations are gazetted.
“With these changes, almost all restrictions on social and economic activity will have been lifted.”
