The Gauteng Department of Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation continues to build on the excitement of the 2010 FIFA World Cup by supporting the Fly the Flag and the lead South Africa's campaigns during the Tri-Nation rugby test match between South Africa's Springboks and Australia's Wallabies at Loftus stadium in Pretoria this weekend.
"On behalf of the Gauteng Provincial Government, I would like to urge all Gauteng residents to go all out in full support of the Springboks to wear their green and gold on Fly the Flag Friday and fly your flags high. Gautengers let us all unite as one voice and shout GO! Bokke," said MEC for Sport, Arts, Culture and Recreation, Nelisiwe Moerane.
The department in partnership with the South African Football Supporters Association, will on Saturday, ahead of the match, embark on road shows encouraging Gauteng residents to rally behind the Springboks during the Tri-Nation tournament which will culminate with a public viewing in Sebokeng at the Saul Tsotetsi sport complex.
The targeted areas are Vosloorus, Katlehong, Boksburg, Benoni, East Rand mall, East Gate mall, South Gate mall, Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging.
Entertainment will include performances by 999 stable and local artists. Flags will be distributed during the road shows and at the public viewing areas; residents are however urged to also bring their own.
