Former Bafana Bafana and locally based Kaizer Chiefs star Siphiwe Tshabalala has added his voice to the calls for South Africans to stay at home and respect the regulations put in place by government.

Lockdown has provided a challenge for many people, but Tshabalala, one of the country’s most recognisable football stars, said it is vital that fans do the right thing to curb the spread of the disease.

A tribute to the humanity heroes
To show appreciation for the efforts made and risks braved by healthcare workers and other professionals, who are giving their all to ensure society continues to function in the face of the coronavirus, football stars both past and present have come together to pay tribute to humanity’s heroes.

Across the globe, staff and volunteers at medical facilities have been risking their lives on a daily basis to support humankind.

Some have, sadly, paid the ultimate price.

People working or volunteering in law enforcement, pharmacies, shops, warehouses, delivery services, public transport, and safety and security have also been playing a key role in protecting our way of life.
