The captain after taking the jab invited the nation to do the right thing.

“Firstly I want to state that we are doing this to be on the safe side. They say prevention is better than cure so we had to do the easy way. I would like to encourage other soccer players and fans to also vaccinate because this can unlock our industry as the minister has pointed out,” said Motsa.

The vaccinatio­n campaign launch was officially opened by Minister of Sports, Culture and Youth Affairs Harries ‘Madze’ Bulunga.
