JOHANNESBURG – MEC Faith Mazibuko, Gauteng Community Safety, warned motorists traveling between provinces Sunday that noncompliance would not be tolerated during the shutdown period.

Health workers were also testing for COVID-19 in an effort to ensure they did not bring the coronavirus to Gauteng.
“There are people who take risks and drive on our roads without a driver’s license, but here in Gauteng we have law enforcement officers everywhere,” Mazibuko said.
A motorist traveling from Cape Town was arrested for possession of alcohol.
