President Cyril Ramaphosa is expected to address the nation at 8pm on Thursday, on the Covid-19 situation following a decline in the number of cases reported.
Health Minister Joe Phaahla had also said if people get vaccinated this would create an opportunity for the return of the fans to sporting events as it is in Europe and other countries.
The government said on Thursday that more than 17 million doses of vaccines have been administered since the programme began a few months ago. The address by Ramaphosa this evening comes after his meeting with the National Coronavirus Command Council, the Presidential Coordinating Council and Cabinet.
The country has been gripped by Covid-19 for more than 18 months leading to many businesses being affected. Sport fans have also not been able to attend sporting events since the first lockdown was announced in March last year.
