It also noted that this extraordinary step was taken for the safety of players, technical staff, administrators, match officials, the media and all others involved in football matches and other related events.
The association said professional football would continue under the measures already being implemented by the PSL.
“This must however be done in compliance with the applicable protocols of government’s risk adjusted strategy of the Disaster Management Act with respect to the curfew and closure of venues and as it is further explained in the directives issues by the minister of sport, arts and culture,” Safa said.
