Mamelodi Sundowns coach Pitso Mosimane has urged all South Africans to support those leading the fight against the coronavirus pandemic in the country.

With all football in South Africa suspended, the country is currently under a 21-day lockdown which aims to prevent the increasing number of people infected by Covid-19.

Mosimane has since praised those working hard during the lockdown in the fight against coronavirus and urged all South Africans to comply with the lockdown regulations issued by government.

‘Hello South Africa. On behalf of Mamelodi Sundowns Football Club, we would like to thank everybody who is on the front line … the police, nurses, doctors, the army and volunteers, who are really serving us to save our lives,’ Mosimane said in a video message on his club’s official Twitter page.

‘Lets make those people’s jobs easier by washing our hands regularly, sanitising and keeping social distancing, and by staying at home! Thank you.’
