'A vaccinated nation is what it will take to once again open the stadium for the popular Soweto derby, it is what it will take to open the Cape Town Jazz Festival, the Macufe and other prominent music events in our calendar, and indeed a vaccinated nation is what it will take to open the Durban July and other similar events,' said Mabuza.
Deputy President David Mabuza says the ball is in your court regarding this year's festive season.
The social mobilisation programme calls on all citizens to play their part by vaccinating to reduce the rate of infections, hospitalisation and deaths. As part of the programme, Mabuza said people must reach out and educate communities about the benefits of vaccines, and dispel myths and the spread of fake and untrue conspiracy theories about vaccines.
Mabuza called on artists, athletes and leaders in sport and creative sectors to be flag-bearers in promoting Covid-19 vaccinations, saying they are the embodiment of hope, resilience and force of unity to get all communities behind the national vaccination programme.
