Gungubele: SA must never be locked down again because of rising COVID numbers

CAPE TOWN - Minister in the Presidency Mondli Gungubele said that there must never be another potential of locking down the country again because of rising COVID-19 numbers.

Gungubele has also admitted that not all political parties followed coronavirus safety protocols when they campaigned ahead of the municipal elections. Gungubele said that COVID-19 infections were rising once again and he said that there was no other way out of the pandemic except through vaccinations."Whenever the National Coronavirus Command Council meets, you take decisions consistent with that situation. And I want to repeat that, we wish there must never be a possibility of locking down this country again. We are still dealing with the damage of 2020," he said.

Gungubele said that the Presidency would take its cue from the Health Department on whether restrictions needed to be reimposed over the festive season.

SA is still under a lockdown

After election.... 😂😂😂😂

Thank u leadership

Not on his watch

I agree, get vaccinated and leave us alone.

End the lockdown. Vaccines are available… every person for themselves.

EFF and ANC political rallies the biggest culprits.

With only 30% vaccinated there may have to be stricter lockdowns.

we are in lockdown. tsek
