South Africa has the highest number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Africa and is now recording the fourth-largest daily increase in new cases worldwide. “This is a fight to save every life, and we need to save every bed,” he said. “The coronavirus storm is far fiercer and more destructive than any we have known.”

Regulations on the wearing of masks will be strengthened, but the country will remain on the third level of its five-level coronavirus alert system.Ramaphosa said current projections showed different provinces would reach the peak of infections between the end of July and late September.

Dear, It takes less than 2 seconds to retweet. It is my dream to see 100 million young Africans have this book for FREE! Here is the link: Please retweet to create awareness, thank you.

My only concern is for alcoholics. This will be dire for them.

Possibly it should act this more earlier. The best time for policians or leaders to make a choice and practice is not everything could not take in control but things in the beginning like positive cancer.

Thank god i live in the us

He's quick to ban liquor.. Whilst he can't stop the looting from his counterparts R500billion of covid 19 relief funds

I guess they don't care about their people suffering. Locked up but no alcohol. Who makes these decisions?

Is SA at the bottom of the 3rd world now?

And I'm South African

Wow, here in the US we considered liquor stores an essential business throughout.

Who knew joggers had a drinking problem?

Good move.

That will help...

Yes- banning alcohol has a tremendous success rate if you live on an island by yourself.

maybe they'll take a break from killing white farmers.

Nobody can stop South Africans from consuming alcohol. It's just politicians trying to cause a riot & making democracy a drop in an ocean. The initial ban of alcohol drove South Africans to resort to MBHAMBHA. An involuntarily & compulsory withdrawal of alcohol habit is stressful

Elon Musk - the only smart South African

Freeing up hospitals for Covid-19 cases, and not drunk people who wrapped their car around a tree. Problem I have is the nationwide South African tobacco ban is still in place. 😭

In parallel Universe 😶

don’t really understand why? you need alcool in times of hardships:)

Banning alcohol in these trying time. Necessary. But depressing as faq

Me before alcohol ban
