Cabinet has announced the extension of the national curfew from 9 pm to 10 pm.
This is to accommodate restaurants that have had to cut their services as employees needed to be home by 9 pm.
Announcing this decision, Tourism Minister Mamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane, said however that the ban on the sale of alcohol remains in place.
Meanwhile, she also announced that intra-provincial travel for leisure purposes will be allowed.
However, leisure travel between provinces remains prohibited.
She said accommodation establishments are now permitted to operate for leisure intra-provincially subject to the following:
* No more than two people per room except for a nuclear family (parents and their children). Establishments are already legally obliged to require and keep a copy of proof of identity.
* Short-term home rental/sharing remains closed.
Minister Kubayi-Ngubane said tour operators, in the new regulations, will be allowed to conduct guided tours in open safari vehicles subject to directions and include provision for both social distancing and maximum ventilation.
She said these changes would come into effect as soon as the new regulations are gazetted.
