EFF supporters are going to stage a picket outside the office of sports minister Nathi Mthethwa in Pretoria next Thursday to demand the immediate reopening of stadiums for spectators.
EFF leader Julius Malema said if there is no progress on the matter after their picket, they will move to the offices of the Premier Soccer League and the SA Football Association .
Malema on Saturday strongly called on the PSL to challenge regulations that have limited attendance at stadiums for professional sports to 2,000 as a precaution against Covid-19. On Wednesday the SA Sports Confederation and Olympic Committee said it would recommend to the government that stadiums host vaccinated fans at half their capacities from next month.
“Next week Thursday we are picketing at the Department of Sport to demand that it must suggest to that council that stadiums must be opened,” Malema said. “Even if it is opened to limited numbers, we don’t care but stadiums must be opened. There is a picket that will go to the department of sports and if there are no results from that picket, we are going to picket at Safa and at the PSL.”
