Ban on alcohol and cigarettes lifted from Monday when SA moves to level 2 lockdown CyrilRamaphosa

The move follows a special cabinet meeting on Saturday afternoon. Throughout the week, cabinet received advice from health experts who advised that the country has now managed to arrest rapid transmission of the Covid-19 virus and that health-care infrastructure would not be undermined.

Another legal challenge has been around the prohibition of liquor in eateries which government says will be allowed under level 2 with strict conditions. Intra-provincial travel had been allowed as of two weeks ago. Ramaphosa announced that interprovincial travel will also be allowed along with social visits and gatherings — capped at 50 people.While domestic flights have been permitted since level 3, international travel remains restricted.
