The whole of the Western Cape must move to level 3 of the lockdown with the rest of the country, premier Alan Winde said on Thursday.
Winde was responding to President Cyril Ramaphosa's warning in his televised address to the nation on Wednesday night thatwhen the rest of the country moves to level 3 from the end of May.
But Winde said the provincial government would use the consultation process Ramaphosa announced"to make clear our position that the entire province must move down to level 3 as soon as possible, preferably before the end of May"."It is simply no longer possible to maintain level 4 restrictions anywhere in the Western Cape or South Africa.
