Deputy President David Mabuza will be in Gqeberha, in the Eastern Cape, on Friday to lead the ‘Return to Play: It is in Your Hands” campaign.
The campaign seeks to encourage people to get vaccinated in order to make it possible for social events including sporting events, festivals and concerts to return to normal.
The campaign has been launched in four provinces.
Since the launch of the campaign in Gauteng, 2000 spectators were allowed in the World Cup qualifier game between Bafana Bafana and Ethiopia.

Only 38% of males have been vaccinated in the Eastern Cape compared to 61% of women in the province.
Mabuza will be accompanied by the Arts and Culture Minister Nathi Mthethwa and Premier Oscar Mabuyane.
