You can now get your live sports fix at school events — Here’s what you need to know

Basic education minister Angie Motshekga has gazetted new government regulations to allow spectators to attend school sports events.

The regulations come after President Cyril Ramaphosa moved the country to lockdown alert level 1 to offer hard-hit industries some relief.

All arts and culture intraschool and interschool activities can allow audiences, including choir rehearsals and competitions, spelling bees, speech contests, debates and school clubs. Sharing of drinks is not allowed at all times and face masks must be worn, including in change rooms and training areas, except by those doing vigorous exercise.

The principal of a school or an organiser of a venue hosting an event or activity contemplated in this direction and who fails to comply is liable to a fine or imprisonment. Up to 2,000 people are allowed at outdoor venues and 750 or fewer at indoor venues.
