President Cyril Ramaphosa's planned visit to the Western Cape this week has been postponed after Premier Alan Winde was forced to go into self-quarantine.
Cape Town - President Cyril Ramaphosa's planned visit to the Western Cape this week has been postponed after Premier Alan Winde has been forced to go into self-quarantine.
"Because I had a one-on-one interview with Lungile after the [Thursday's] press conference, being in close range for some time, I am deemed a close contact and will now self-quarantine. It has been nearly seven days since our contact, and I will, therefore, go into self-quarantine for another seven days...
"Lastly I have also been in contact with the president to alert him to this situation as he was due to visit the province on Friday. The president has agreed to reschedule his visit given this development, and we thank him for his understanding," Winde said.
