“I’m so disappointed to learn that people are still organising tournaments around here. What can be done by people that comply of lockdown regulations? This is because people run after money risking their lives by playing fly-by-night tournaments”, said another concerned coach.
According to the coach players failed to obey rules set by their clubs and mother body SAFA. He asked Sedibeng Ster Sport what can be done by people not comply of lockdown regulations. However, another coach suggested those who are hosting tournaments must be arrested.
