Ngwenya also called on liquor outlet operators to adhere to lockdown regulations and not to sell alcohol outside the days stipulated.
He emphasized that social public gatherings are not allowed under level 3 regulations and that the risk of a massive increase in infections is now greater than ever.
Ngwenya told AlgoaFM News on Monday that since the lockdown started, law enforcement authorities have conducted operations at 263 liquor outlets in the Buffalo City Metro to ensure that regulations are implemented.
