Footballers all over the Premier Soccer League have been sending messages to the nation in the current lockdown period.
South Africa is currently on day five of the national lockdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak, which has infected over one thousand people across the country.
The domestic season was suspended earlier in March prior to the lockdown, with Bafana Bafana also having to postpone their AFCON qualifiers which was initially scheduled for this month.
