“Altogether, these industries employed over 500,000 people before the lockdown. We have had to think about these people and those who depend on them for their livelihoods,” Ramaphosa said. “Through the easing of the lockdown we are continuing to balance our overriding objective of saving lives and preserving livelihoods.”
Other sectors that will be allowed to reopen are conference venues, casinos, and personal care services such as hairdressers, as well as non-contact sports such as golf, tennis and cricket. The tourism industry, which contributes almost 9% to GDP, has ground to a halt after the government closed all borders, banned local and international travel and grounded aeroplanes.
