The Sunshine Tour has announced the postponement of its 2021 schedule by one month in light of the current nationwide rise in COVID-19 cases and in support of President Cyril Ramaphosa’s call for all South Africans to work together to help curb the spread of the virus.
Thomas Abt, Commissioner of the Sunshine Tour, announced on Wednesday that the planned February start of the Sunshine Tour’s 2021 schedule has now been postponed until March this year.

Sunshine Tour commissioner Thomas Abt announced on Wednesday that the planned February start of the Sunshine Tour’s 2021 schedule has now been postponed until March this year”, said Abt in a statement.
