JOHANNESBURG – The Gauteng government has reiterated that large gatherings and parties are super spreaders of COVID-19 and should be avoided.

This comes as videos continue to appear on social media of people gathered in large crowds and circumventing COVID-19 protocols.

South Africa is currently in the grip of a second wave of the pandemic, and cases continue to rise rapidly exacerbated by the new variant of COVID-19.

Gauteng government spokesman Thabo Masebe said the province was showing an increase in COVID-19 cases.

“Videos have been circulating on social media platforms showing youth partying in large numbers with little or no compliance with protocols for preventing the spread of COVID-19. Gauteng’s Acting Prime Minister Panyaza Lesufi has strongly condemned this irresponsible behavior, which undoubtedly increases the risk of the spread of COVID-19 and should be avoided. “
