All hotels, parks, churches, beaches , theatres, movie cinemas and flea markets would also be shutdown.
Speaking in Pretoria where the justice, safety and security cluster was detailing how the lockdown would be conducted, SA national defence force minister Nosiviwe Mapisa-Nqakula said that the limitation of movement was not meant to punish citizens but to curb the spread of Covid-19.
“On-consumption premises including taverns, shebeens, shisanyama where liquor is sold, this time you are not buying liquor between 9am and 6pm, you shall not buy liquor,” Cele said. All restaurants will be closed for the next 21 days and people would only be allowed to buy food at the supermarkets that will remain operational that they can cook at their houses.
