With the international season fast approaching, SA Rugby president Mark Alexander says they will continue to lobby government to have 100% capacity at stadiums.
“Not only does it impact on the people who work inside the stadium, it also has an impact on the informal traders who sell around the stadium. In December, I helped two family members who sell outside the stadium and didn’t have a revenue stream. It is important for us to have 100% people back inside the stadiums.”
“It is a much-needed impact. Yu don’t only have to look at it form a rugby point of view but from a country point of view. We will continue to lobby to get 100% fans back in the stadiums. “It is the most unfunded from a government perspective and we understand government can’t do it, but for us to fund ourselves and our programmes we need to have 100% capacity in stadiums.”
