The list includes heath practitioners; staff and service providers responsible for the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity; security personnel; agricultural and food supply-related operations; retailers, wholesalers, and spaza shops; financial services; government officials and the media.
“The CIPC, upon review, has established that pubs, taverns, restaurants, fast-food places, pizza parlours and the like have registered to continue operating during the lockdown, in violation of the applicable regulations as per the essential service list. These businesses are not eligible to continue operating during the lockdown period in terms of the regulations and directions issued by government,” the department said in statement.
The department said it had made it clear when the automated certificate was issued by the CIPC, that the provision thereof was based on information provided by the registered company itself, and that possession of the certificate does not in itself automatically constitute the right to continue operating during the lockdown period.
