South Africans are starting to get back to sports matches and nightclubs – but aren’t out and about as much as they once were.
South Africans are returning to their pre-Covid-19 leisure activities – but in some cases, the recovery is uneven, with four out of the six categories that analytics group Lightstone assessed regressing in the 12 months to June 2022.
While Lightstone’s telemetry analytics typically zones in on in-carpark activity via pre-constructed geofences around malls and petrol stations, data can also be accessed to understand activity that takes place in the general vicinity of different ungeofenced locations. However, activity at airports and stadia continued their recovery into 2022, while activity at entertainment venues, holiday accommodation, nightlife and recreational sports facilities had all dropped in 2022 after rallying in 2021.
Lightstone’s data reflects official statistics published by Stats SA for various sectors, such as tourism and hospitality, which shows that these sectors are also struggling to return to their pre-Covid levels. However, despite the positive numbers, the occupancy rates and income derived from the sector are both still far below pre-pandemic levels.
