Western Cape Premier calls for clarification on the extension of the National State of Disaster for the country’s recovery and employment creation sectors.
Cape Town - The announcement of the extension of the National State of Disaster has been met with criticism as the premier demands for openness on the road map to terminate the National State of Disaster.
“The decision to extend the state of national disaster follows consultations with relevant stakeholders and Cabinet approval. The extension takes into account the need to continue observing all non-pharmaceutical interventions against Covid and increasing vaccinations as part of contingency measures being undertaken to mitigate against its impact,” said the ministry.
The premier points out that the ongoing assessments should determine the satisfaction of conditions for terminating or allowing the state of disaster to lapse. Angelic Engelbrecht, a local business owner, said that she anticipated the recovery of the economy because given the warm weather coming and the increase in the number of tourists, this will benefit her business.
