It is pretty much a done deal that limited and vaccinated fans will be allowed to attendant a sporting event in South Africa for the first time in more than 18 months.

SAFA President Danny Jordaan indicated that they made a proposal for unvaccinated fans as well.

“We had a great meeting with the Department of Health who will on Thursday guide the way in how we will achieve this, and do it in a manner that we all still remain safe. 

“It will be marvel to see fans back in the stands.

“We said that in the case where there is a person that is not vaccinated - that person similar to when you get on an aircraft, must have a negative test which is valid.

“There must be checks and balances. So, if a person has some difficulty when vaccination, they must produce a negative test.”

The government is set to outline the rules and regulations on Thursday.
