Dlamini-Zuma defends the curfew remaining in place

Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister, Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma, says it’s important to keep a curfew especially as government is opening the sale of alcohol.

The minister had been addressing media on the regulations relating to the COVID-19 Level 2 restrictions.

The curfew remains in place between 10pm and 4am, except where a person has been granted a permit.

Dlamini Zuma says this is a temporary measure.

Meanwhile Dlamini-Zuma says to allow the sale of alcohol completely, the country would stand a risk of the Covid-19 surge coming back and overwhelming the health services.

She says in order to curb a new coronavirus infection wave, the public must be vigilant and stick to the health protocols put in place by government.
