“COVID-19 regulations still need to be followed,” Motsoaledi said.
“For the first time in a December, with a large number of people crossing the borders, we are going to be demanding COVID-19 certificates.”
These measures are in place to protect against the spread of COVID-19 and allow people to be with their loved ones.

Many of those who cannot obtain these required medical documents may be forced to cross illegally.
“It is important to communicate with our people, we will improve our communication,” Motsoaledi said.
Motsoaledi was also involved in the truck attacks in South Africa.
He said that the task force that works to prevent attacks with trucks will make public their interventions once they have informed the president about their plans.
