More than 15 of Tshwane’s buildings have had to temporarily close due to staff members having tested positive for the virus.
Pretoria – The City of Tshwane on Thursday appealed to residents of South Africa’s capital city to be cautious as coronavirus infections continue to rise across the country.
“The people of Tshwane have been amazing since the start of the lockdown period and have cooperated with us in our collective effort to flatten the curve. There were, however, some pockets of unpleasant behaviour, but those were isolated incidents,” said Nawa. The Tshwane administrator said after President Cyril Ramaphosa identified the capital city as one of the Covid-19 hot-spot areas, the city immediately shone a spotlight on the areas that needed urgent and targeted intervention and have now successfully managed to slow down the spread of the virus.
The affected TMPD officers were based at the Mercedes-Benz building in the Pretoria CBD, which houses the metro police’s various specialised units, including the speeding section and cable theft units. The building on Francis Baard Street also houses the TMPD call centre.
