Government has requested provincial authorities to coordinate provincial activities and help secure transport for mourners wishing to attend the memorial service. People outside of Gauteng should preferably attend memorial services in their own provinces.
The service will be broadcast live by the SABC. There will be big screens outside the stadium, at overflow venues at Ellis Park Stadium, Orlando Stadium and Dobsonville Stadium, and in venues throughout the country.
Members of the public who want to attend the National Memorial Service at FNB or other stadiums must plan their trips carefully, leave early and use public transport. No cars will be allowed in the vicinity of FNB Stadium.
