Football fans in South Africa are up in arms. Supporters of the beautiful game want to return to stadiums with immediate effect. SowetoDerby

. Football lovers have been banned from attending live domestic soccer matches in South Africa for two years now, due to strict COVID-19 regulations in the country. Now, members of the National Football Supporters Association have organised a march to hand over a memorandum of demands duringAccording to the organisers of the planned protest on Saturday, more than 2 000 football supporters from across the country will be at the march to show their dissatisfaction.

NAFSA has already held a series of meetings with the various stakeholders without much success. The association has already met with the Sports Minister, Nathi Mthethwa, and the South African Football Association and recently with the Premier Soccer League’s executive committee to register its plight.

Strict government COVID-19 regulations only permit 2 000 people to attend outdoor activities. Recently SAFA and the PSL allowed 2 000 vaccinated fans to attend soccer matches. 2 000 fans were allowed to attend two recent Bafana Bafana World Cup qualifying matches against Ethiopia and Ghana late last year, and the PSL allowed a limited number of fans to attend the final of the MTN-8 at Durban’s Moses Mabhida Stadium last October.

People are too quiet about the game , I think there might be a planned protest to disturb the game

Fans must be allowed in stadium it's been a while now

They must just go to watch the game asking for permission is a waste of time while millions of political members enjoy that freedom.

I heard that only vaccinated people will be allowed to enter the stadium.

It been too long, I am even starting to hate sport

Politicians are selfish & self-serving when they want our votes they are prepared to relax restrictions to campaign and when we want to go back to stadiums they dilly- dally

Me personally I don't a give fuck about Pirates, I get bored watching them on tv

May be their fortunes will change........

But they dont have money

They just want to attend the derby only, most games there are no supporters in the stands🤣
