The move comes amid encouragement from both scientific and economic experts, and for the first time since March 2020, Mzansi will essentially be ‘lockdown-free’.
Ramaphosa also recently said that the African National Congress (ANC) could not support Operation Dudula. Ramaphosa spoke about the headline-making movement during the ANC’s Mpumalanga conference over the weekend.
Ramaphosa described Nhlanhla ‘Lux’ Dlamini’s Operation Dudula as a “vigilante-like force”.
Despite government intervention to slash the cost of gasoline in South Africa, the fuel price for April 2022 is still set to rise on all fronts.

In some tragic news, the wife of former Springbok coach Peter de Villiers has drowned in a swimming pool in Gqeberha on Monday, 4 April.
