All forms of restaurants in total lock down
Tourism minister Mmamoloko Kuyabi-Ngubane announced on Tuesday that all forms of restaurants were included in the 21-day total lockdown announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa on Monday night.
The Tourism department posted an official statement on twitter
The letter reads: “In compliance with the nationwide lockdown, it should be noted that ALL restaurants, cafes, bars [and] coffee shops will be required to comply with the nationwide lockdown for 21 days.
“Such service providers have NOT been included on the list of what has been deemed essential services during the lockdown and will NOT be permitted to operate and will thus need to be closed for the duration.
“In addition, in compliance with the nationwide lockdown, ALL food delivery services will also need to be suspended for 21 days.”
This comes after a social media outcry as unnamed restaurants allegedly forced its workers to continue coming to word in breach of the President’s lockdown directives.
