We have been undertaking engagements with social partners and other stakeholders on introducing measures that make vaccination a condition for access to workplaces, public events, public transport and public establishments.

The third tool we have to fight the new variant is the cheapest and the most abundant: fresh air. This means that we must try as much as possible to be outdoors when we meet people outside our household. When we are indoors with other people, or in cars, buses and taxis, we need to keep windows open to ensure that air can flow freely through the space.

In taking the decision not to impose further restrictions at this stage, we considered the fact that when we encountered previous waves of infection, vaccines were not widely available and far fewer people were vaccinated. — No more than 100 people are permitted at a funeral, and night vigils, after-funeral gatherings and ‘after-tears’ gatherings are not allowed

We will then need to determine whether the existing measures are adequate or whether changes need to be made to the current regulations. To ensure our facilities are ready, all hospital beds that were available or required during the third wave of Covid-19 are planned and prepared for the fourth wave.

This is a clear and completely unjustified departure from the commitment that many of these countries made at the meeting of G20 countries in Rome last month. They pledged at that meeting to restart international travel in a safe and orderly manner, consistent with the work of relevant international organisations such as the World Health Organisation, the International Civil Aviation Organisation, the International Maritime Organisation and the OECD.

The only thing the prohibition on travel will do is to further damage the economies of the affected countries and undermine their ability to respond to, and recover from, the pandemic.

Gov cannot legislate compulsory vaccinations (remember that thing called a constitution that gives 'human rights' to the most heinous criminals) so they get their proxies to enforce what they want. Communist-style propaganda and l control. beware covidlies commiesAreComing

Who are stakeholders? The people elect you for representation and transparency.

Piss off. No vaccine for the unvaccinated

Why aren't you, the media, push to get to question the president after he addressed the nation? Or its not in the best interest of your narrative, propaganda or agenda?

He's always promoting vaccine,ppl can't vaccinate on empty stomach, he needs to create jobs more than he promote vaccine & our scientists must also find ways to solve power crisis kwa Eskom not only this political virus.

We all know what language our government understands we should all get ready the South Africa way.

We'll see. He doesn't know South Africa

This is an abomination to every free person's basic human rights. The New World Order has truly begun. If they threatening your livelihood for you to do something you dont agree with or believe in, now is the time to stand up and get others to stand with.

This is nonsense and Ramaphosa government must be stopped right now otherwise we will continue under the Westen rule.

Social partners & other stakeholders are not who you work for. Govt of the people, by the people & for the people, not stakeholders. In others words you've been meeting in secret with those who want to remain unamed, as to what tyranny & manipulation you'll subject us to next.

Let's see how this works for businesses 🙃 it will definitely work for employers because employees need to keep their jobs but businesses! Alright
