Disclosing they've forked out a whopping R32m for only maintenance across their four stadiums in the past 24 months, Stadium Management SA (SMSA) managing director Bertie Grobbelaar has welcomed the announcement by president Cyril Ramaphosa that venues would now be permitted to accept up to 50% of capacity.

On Tuesday, Ramaphosa relaxed the restriction pertaining to gatherings, allowing outdoor events to accommodate up to 50 % of the venue's capacity. Previously, only 2,000 people were allowed to attend outdoor events. "The maintenance of the four venues, and I am only speaking about maintenance and electricity, not about running expenses like salaries, over the past 24 months we paid R32m. You can imagine how much we've lost if we include salaries and all other expenses," Grobbelaar said.
