Technical and vocational education and training colleges, community education and training colleges as well as colleges of agriculture, among others, also got the green light.

Higher Education, Science and Technology Minister Blade Nzimande has given institutions of higher learning across the country the green light to resume with construction projects.

Nzimande published new directives that have paved the way for the department’s projects to continue, including those at public universities, technical and vocational education and training colleges, community education and training colleges as well as colleges of agriculture, among others. ”The purpose of these directions is to permit, under alert level 3, the resumption of construction and related services by the department and the institutions mentioned above, subject to compliance with regulations for addressing, preventing and combating the spread of Covid-19 as well as legislation and regulations applicable to construction and related services,” reads the document published in the Government Gazette on Monday.

According to Nzimande, the projects include construction, maintenance, extension, upgrading or refurbishment of new buildings, facilities and services required for or to enable teaching, learning and research.

The regulations state that workplaces should consider staggering the return to work of employees to ensure workplace readiness and avoid traffic congestion during peak travel times.

I for one was against the easing of Lockdowns. But now I realise, it's unnecessary deprivation of incomes for many. Here in Umlazi, there is no restrictions what so ever. It's just people out of jobs. Just open once if you can't enforce guidelines of a Lockdown. I have a membership card of a leading party but decision they are taking make me think otherwise...I think we were supposed to give EFF a chance Julius_S_Malema MbuyiseniNdlozi CyriIRamaphosa MbalulaFikile ANCParliament EFFSouthAfrica Excellent pic some big fat looter together
