Want to watch Soweto Derby or attend a music festival? Then take the jab – David Mabuza
This was the message from Deputy President David Mabuza, who was a keynote speaker at the launch of a campaign called Return To Play: It’s In Your Hands, an initiative by the sports, arts and culture department, at FNB Stadium on Wednesday.
It has been over a year since sporting events as well as mass crowd activities in the arts and culture sector were banned due to the Covid-19 pandemic. He called upon artists, athletes and leaders in the sports and creative sectors to become flag bearers in promoting Covid-19 vaccinations, calling them the “embodiment of hope, resilience and force of unity to get all our communities behind our national vaccination programme”.“A vaccinated nation is what it will take to once again open the stadium for the popular Soweto derby.
Sports, Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa said that government alone could not raise the required vaccination numbers to reach herd immunity.
