South Africa would take its first steps out of the hard lockdown. Four weeks on from when the regulations first came into effect, light has now appeared at the end of a very dark tunnel: This generation can now begin its own “long walk to freedom”.
“We cannot sustain a nationwide lockdown indefinitely. Our people need to eat, and earn a living. Companies need to trade. We have accordingly decided beyond Thursday 30 April, we will begin a phased recovery of economic activity.”
We have a risk-adjusted strategy. It is deliberate and cautious. An abrupt lifting of restrictions could cause a resurgence of the disease.” -Cyril Ramaphosa
