“What is worrying more as I said in the Portfolio Committee yesterday, is the activities we are seeing around Gauteng, in terms of people still participating in protests, still participating in illegal gatherings because we have we have restricted the gathering from the announcement by the President.”

Meanwhile, the military is being enlisted to help Gauteng fight the third wave of COVID-19.

The province accounts for the majority of new cases, with over 7,500 infections in a single day.
