JOHANNESBURG - President Cyril Ramaphosa said the lifting of some restrictions under the lockdown was about advancing the economy.
Salons, restaurants and hotels are allowed to operate under level three, but you're still not allowed to legally buy cigarettes.
And with the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in South Africa passing the 80,000 mark, Ramaphosa has cautioned that easing these rules doesn’t mean the pandemic was over. Ramaphosa said the economy needed strengthening and reopening. This is why he was opening restaurants and hotels. He doesn’t believe this is counterproductive: “And these activities include, restaurants for sit down meals, accredited and licensed accommodation with the exception of home-sharing accommodation like Airbnb. Conferences and meetings for business purposes and in line with restrictions on public gatherings, cinemas and theatres to be aligned to limitations of gathering of people.
