Impact of Coronavirus on the Foundation’s tournaments
[Johannesburg, Gauteng, April 18] The Scara Thindwa Soccer Foundation (the Foundation) is acutely aware of the dangers that the covid-19 pandemic poses on the lives of all, in particular the young participants (primary and high school learners and their educators and trainers) of our tournaments, our sponsors’ representatives, tournament administrators, all other key stakeholders and our own staff. Therefore, to abide by the Eswatini government’s call to strictly observe restrictions imposed on all in order to curb the spread of the coronavirus, the Scara Thindwa Soccer
Foundation had to indefinitely postpone all its 2020 tournaments until further notice. The Foundation is also aware of the impact that the coronavirus outbreak prevention drive is having on the Foundation’s endeavors to fulfil its annual sponsorship obligations. The Foundation would therefore, like to express its utmost gratitude for our sponsors [Eswatini Royal Insurance Corporation (ESRIC) and KFC] for understanding the calamitous circumstances the nation and the whole world finds itself in due to the coronavirus and thus the need to postpone the 2020 tournaments and competitions.
Government, our sponsors, the custodians of football in the country, the education and training fraternity, our key stakeholders and the board of directors of the Foundation will guide the Foundation’s decision on the resumption of the tournaments as there is uncertainty on when the partial lockdown will end and society will get back to normalcy.
We would like to take this opportunity to appeal to all citizens to stay at home, wash their hands with soap regularly or use hand sanitizers, wear face masks, seek medical attention where necessary and please practise social distancing until we have won the battle against the spread of this coronavirus. Let us flatten the coronavirus spread curve.
