Cyril Ramaphosa’s speech needs to be deciphered, says Mzansi
President Cyril Ramaphosa on Wednesday addressed the nation after 19 days of silence.
Mzansi called on its leader to provide an update on the spread of the coronavirus and the country’s lockdown regulations.
And he did. Kinda.
Here’s what happened:
Level 3 – but not now
Ramaphosa said that most of the country would move to level 3 at the end of May. That’s around two and a half weeks to go.
Level 4 – but there will be changes
He said there would be changes to existing regulations around level 4. He made reference to the easing of rules around exercising. That’s it.
Level 3 for some, level 4 for others
The president said that while some areas would move to level 3, those “hot spots” with higher infection rates may remain at level 4.
So, what else do we know?
Er, that’s it for now. As per usual, more details will be released by ministers tomorrow.

We obviously have those who were hoping he will talk about easing restrictions around the much loved beverage.
