African Dialogue

South Africa has been placed on Adjusted Alert Level Four of the national lockdown for the next fourteen days, as the country battles the rising number of covid-19 cases. All social gatherings including political, religious and cultural events are prohibited with the exception of funerals which will only be limited to 50 people.
President Cyril Ramaphosa made this announcement in his address to the nation last night. This as the country grapples with new Delta variant of the Coronavirus which has hit the country leading to South Africa recording the highest number of daily infections in the past few days.
