The African Christian Democratic Party has
welcomed the announcement by Minister of Sport Fikile Mbalula that South Africa is not ready to host the Africa Cup of Nations if Morocco withdraws because of the Ebola virus.
ACDP
MP Cheryllyn Dudley said the most important thing is that countries need to
assist in addressing the escalating ebola crisis.
The
Moroccan government announced last week that they wanted the tournament to be postponed
because of the Ebola crisis.
Dudley
said the African football association the AF must rather postpone the event
while we all do what we can to address the escalating ebola crisis.
Dudley
said this is not something any country can take lightly and I am actualy
particularly pleased and the ACDP welcomes the fact that our minister has taken
a very stand on this.
“Before
it has even gotten to cabinet South Africa has said an unequivocal no we are
not putting our people at risk while this virus is at large Dudley added.
