remain on a higher lockdown level, KwaZulu-Natal Premier Sihle Zikalala confirmed on Wednesday that it would downgrade to Level 4 along with the rest of the country.
However, he warned that regulations would still be stringent.
“It means that all regulations that are still attached will be implemented strictly. It means in transport, we will look if they have masks and people are protected and there is social distancing,” he previously told News24.
These restrictions now appear to have extended to the promenade, with Kaunda adding that deep cleaning first needs to take place before it can be opened to the public.
“We are not going to take any chances. Everyone needs to be mindful of the fact that the city is the epicentre of this pandemic. We are going to embark on a deep-cleaning and sanitising operation of the entire facility before we open it to the public…. Yes, residents have been yearning for jogging and cycling on the promenade but we cannot dice with their lives,” said Kaunda.
