“We are looking at allocating time for the operation of taxis in the morning peak and in the afternoon, and during the day [there will be] a lockdown because a lockdown is a lockdown. Workers who are classified as essential will be permitted to get to work. We’ll cater for them. Special catering for them, in the morning peak and the afternoon, in terms of public transport caters for them.”
“All employers will be expected to generate permits for special workers. If you are for instance working in a supermarket, Pick ‘n Pay will have to produce a permit for its workers that you are permitted to be working on this day in terms of the regulation and the lockdown and that will happen also for the media,” Mbalula said.
Health minister Zweli Mkhize said that the decision to shut down public transport operations would assist the country greatly in the long run as this was one area where the virus could spread.He said they were aware that people were planning on migrating back to their hometowns and that the military, who would be deployed on the roads during the lockdown, would decide how such migration is handled.
