Opposition parties have criticised President Cyril Ramaphosa over his address to the nation on Wednesday night.
“We repeat our call for the national lockdown to end swiftly. It is not a rational strategy, and has not been so for weeks. It is irrational and disproportionate to the scale of the risk that Covid poses, relative to other risks,” he said.
“The DA repeats our warning that if government doesn’t end this lockdown, the people will end it for them,” he said.
