South African actress and filmmaker Salamina Mosese weighed in on the government relaxing lockdown laws, stating that the consequences will be “costly” to the nation.
Only one week into the 21-day lockdown, the government started to review certain regulations such as Minister of Transport Fikile Mbalula’s recent decision to increase the taxi capacity to 70% and now the Trade and Industry Minister Ebrahim Patel’s decision to allow informal traders and hawkers to trade again.
