President Cyril Ramaphosa unveiled tougher lockdown restrictions on Monday evening in response to a second wave of Covid-19 which he described as an “extremely dangerous point in our fight against the pandemic”.
During his speech, he became emotional, imploring South Africans to take the pandemic seriously and change their behaviour.
“The sooner we understand that it could very well be us in that ambulance speeding by, or us in that hospital bed, or us being buried at that funeral, the sooner we come to the reality of what we are facing right now,” he warned.
