South African Football Association (Safa) chief executive officer Tebogo Motlanthe says that the association will wait and see what happens with the Covid-19 vaccination roll out before making a decision on when supporters will be allowed to return to stadiums.
South Africa moved into level 1 of lockdown restriction last Sunday evening as the country looks to start getting back to normal with the roll out of the vaccine having already begun.
“You know what happened last time‚ we went to Level 1 and had to go back to adjusted Level 3 because most people were reckless‚” Motlanthe told Sowetan.
“This time let’s give the government a chance to observe what is happening with this Level 1 because experts are saying that we may end up having a third wave."
"As an Association‚ we can’t be reckless and start saying because it is Level 1 please bring supporters back," he added.
"We will wait and observe and see what happens with the vaccination campaign.”
