When it comes to public spaces, Cele said the police would act “reasonably” but stressed that if people are caught drinking in public spaces, they will be arrested.
“You will only drink alcohol in your house, in your mother’s house, in your father’s house … Do not take it out there … The non-sale of alcohol is the non-sale of alcohol – do not put alcohol in teapots in your restaurants or bottles … We know your tricks, do not invite the police to come and check if there really are Rooibos there or if there is something else in the kettle. We will make sure you lose your license if you don’t comply. “
He urged communities to report people breaking the law, including those who spread the virus, to the police hotline 10111 because “that is a serious crime.”
On the subject of the curfew, Cele said: “If we find it between 9:00 p.m. M. And 6:00 a. M., Wandering around and going out, we’ll make sure you go to greet the magistrate and create a criminal record for him that could land you in prison.
“That is why it is important that [at] One minute and nine, every South African is at home … We especially want to urge young people because there is this narrative that they do not suffer from this. But everyone is a victim, no one is safe, everyone is vulnerable, so we have to work on that together. “
On funerals, Cele said that the police will not hesitate to stop funerals that are carried out illegally.
He reminded the nation that police officers were human too and called on South Africans to play their part during this difficult period.
