Briefly.co.za earlier reported that South Africans can finally give a sigh of relief after the president relaxed Covid-19 lockdown regulations as a result of the declining infection rate.
The president addressed the nation on Monday, 1 February.
President Cyril Ramaphosa started his speech by confirming the arrival of the first one million doses of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, calling it a turning point in the fight against the virus. Ramaphosa also announced that alcohol sales will now be permitted:
"The sale of alcohol by licensed premises for on-site consumption – such as restaurants and taverns – will be permitted throughout the week from 10am to 10pm."
Ramaphosa called on South Africans to drink responsibly and not force the government to reinstate the lockdown restrictions. SA would remain on Level 3 and many things would still remain prohibited, such as sports gathering or government meetings.
