Zikalala added that 2,744 liquor and other commercial inspections were carried out, during which 155 non-compliant sites were identified.

“We note that since the announcement of the reduction of the national closure to level 4, in places like the Durban CBD, Isipingo and others, and in certain shopping malls, it is as if the floodgates have been opened. Some areas are full of activity, and the concept of social distancing has gone out the window.

“We are seeing an increase in vehicle traffic, a lot of people on the streets, others even braiding their hair on the sidewalks. Some people venture out of their homes without wearing masks. We also know of commercial operators that have reopened prematurely, even though they are not exempt from level 4 of the blockade. We are also in possession of a record that lists a number of private companies that are acting against Tier 4 regulations, ”he said.

He warned those who contravene regulations that would “feel the heat” starting Monday.

“Our law enforcement agencies, accompanied by the SA National Defense Force, will be in full force, taking the necessary measures against criminals. We want all of our compatriots to be clear about one thing: we will take strict measures. We will not do this to abuse or victimize people, but to enforce the law so that Covid-19 can stay in line.

“So from tomorrow [Monday] We will intensify compliance, and the crime prevention and justice group has been told to act decisively without fear, favor, or prejudice, ”he said.
