Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality said no fireworks would be allowed on Guy Fawkes day on Thursday.
The Municipality said in terms of Covid19 regulations, the discharge of fireworks is not permitted under Alert Level 1.
The Safety and Security Portfolio Head, Queenie Pink, said, as a result, there are no designated areas identified to set off fireworks.
“Under Alert Level 1 of the Lockdown, the City would also not allow any person to sell or make available fireworks and no burning of tyres will be allowed on the road, as this damages the road infrastructure,” Pink said.
“No person may allow any minor under his/her supervision to ignite any fireworks and there is no exception to this rule. No person may light fireworks in any place where animals are present, no person may use fireworks on any school or senior citizens’ residents.”
She encouraged the public to report any transgressions to the SAPS toll-free number, 10111.
