Economic Development and Tourism MEC David Maynier is calling for UIF Covid-19 TERS support to be extended. This following the President’s announcement that the Level 3 restrictions will remain in place until 15 February.
With the announcement last week by President Cyril Ramaphosa that the Alert Level 3 restrictions will remain in place until the 15 February 2020, I reiterate my call for the UIF-Covid19 TERS support to be extended for the duration of time that the additional restrictions apply. The tourism and hospitality industry has already been hard-hit, and jobs are being lost as a result of the continued closure of the beaches, the curfew and the alcohol ban which are having a devastating impact on businesses and jobs in the Western Cape.
