[WATCH LIVE] Ramaphosa to address nation on Sunday evening
President Cyril Ramaphosa will address the nation on Sunday evening amid a spike in Covid-19 infections.
Ramaphosa to address at 7pm.
Reports indicate government could tighten some of the Covid-19 restrictions, including the curfew and gatherings, as well as place a limit on alcohol sales.
Addressing the African National Congress (ANC) Northern Cape elective conference on Saturday, Ramaphosa warned about the looming third wave.
"Indications are that our country is entering the third wave as rising Covid-19 infections are just going up, and we must do everything in our power to mitigate this impact,” he said.
"We are once again going to have to remind South Africans to remain vigilant and protect themselves and each other.
"I want to reiterate that our ability to manage this phase of the pandemic will depend on the behaviour of our people, the speed at which we can vaccinate eligible citizens and the extent to which we contain further spread.”
