President Cyril Ramaphosa has raised the country’s Covid-19 alert to Level 4.
This means, among other additional tightening of restrictions, that as of Monday the sale of alcohol is prohibited for both on-site and off-site consumption for the next 14 days.
According to Ramaphosa, the restrictions will be implemented to curb the spread third wave of the Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic, driven largely by the Delta variant.

All gatherings – indoors or outdoors – are prohibited. These include religious, political, cultural and social gatherings.
