Minister of Sports, Arts and Culture, Nathi Mthethwa received his second jab at FNB stadium, Soweto yesterday during 'Return to play – it's in your hands' campaign to encourage sport fans to vaccinate against COVID-19 so they can start to enjoy matches.
Deputy President David Mabuza said return to sports stadiums, arts and culture as well as music events will depend on the rate of South Africans being vaccinated as quickly as possible.
"If we desire to return to our stadiums, to our theatres, to our concerts and to our fashion shows, it lies with us to go out and mobilise our people, our communities, to vaccinate,"
"A vaccinated nation is what it will take to again open the stadiums for the popular Soweto derby we know, our Cape Town Jazz Festival, to go back to Macufe, the Joy of Jazz, the Durban July.  A vaccinated nation is a very important milestone that will take us back to normality," said Mabuza.
The Deputy President and Minister were accompanied by Gauteng Premier, David Makhura and Gauteng MEC for Health, Dr Nomathemba Mokgethi.
Also in attendance to this launch were popular sport fans such as Mama Joy who were playing their part in encouraging sports lovers to vaccinate.
