Here's what social media had to say about the change in lockdown level.
Image:There has been mixed reactions to president Cyril Ramaphosa's national address on Thursday night in which he announced that SA will move to alert level 1 lockdown.
The president believes the vaccination drive will also help SA intensify its fight against the pandemic. We have set ourselves the target of vaccinating 70% of the adult population in SA by the end of the year. If we reach this target, the department of health estimates that we could save up to 20,000 lives,” he said.
“We know that getting to a vaccination site during weekdays can be difficult for many people, especially those who work, who have to commute long distances or have family responsibilities. He announced a change in the maximum number of people permitted at gatherings to 750, from 250, for indoor gatherings and 2,000, from 500, for outdoor gatherings.
