Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Dr Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma has appealed to churches to be extra cautious this weekend as they plan to celebrate the Easter weekend between April 2 and April 5.  

Addressing the media on Thursday, she said a review on the latest Covid-19 infection numbers would be done by the Department of Health after 15 days.

She emphasised the restrictions that allowed for 250 people indoors and 500 outdoors at an event, provided the venue was big enough to allow for people to be 1.5 m apart.

She appealed to churches with small venues to not host large gatherings and stressed that health protocols such as mask wearing and sanitising must continue to be observed.

She also emphasised that the sale of alcohol would not be allowed between Friday and Tuesday 6 April, and added that the curfew was still between midnight and 04:00.

She warned on-site businesses, that were still permitted to sale alcohol, to not sell alcohol as take-aways to patrons.

Inter-provincial travel was permitted, however, Dlamini-Zuma stressed that people should travel only when necessary.

She pleaded with drivers to drive safe and obey the rules and to not drink and drive.

She also gave government’s thanks to all of South Africa’s frontline workers.
