Winde to consult Ramaphosa over Mkhize's lockdown comments

Winde said it was already anticipated that jobs in the province had been lost since the national lockdown started on 26 March. Prolonging level 4 any further would result in an ever greater need for humanitarian relief.

Enforcing varying lockdown levels between different areas within a province would be difficult, he said. “This should be taken seriously because it will cost lives in the future, too. That's why we support the president’s decision on Sunday that the entire country move to level 3, in conjunction with the targeted hotspot strategy,” he said.

The hotspots in Cape Town are the Tygerberg district with 2,400 cases and Khayelitsha with 2,000. Drakenstein municipality in the Cape Winelands has recorded 350 cases, while Witzenberg follows with 230.To mitigate the chances of exposure to residents who suffer from chronic diseases, Winde said the province was partnering with e-hailing service Uber to deliver chronic medication to thousands around the province.
