"This means that the current measures contained in the regulations to save lives and preserve livelihoods within the context of the risk-adjusted strategy are required beyond 15 March 2021," said Dlamini-Zuma in a statement.

South Africa's national state of disaster has been extended yet again.
This means the country will officially pass the one-year mark of lockdown measures next week, with the first national state of national disaster having come into effect in March 2020.
The announcement was made during a Cabinet briefing on Thursday, and the Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma has gazetted the extension.
The national state of disaster was extended until 15 April.

"This means that the current measures contained in the regulations to save lives and preserve livelihoods within the context of the risk-adjusted strategy are required beyond 15 March 2021," said Dlamini-Zuma in a statement.
"The decision to extend the state of national disaster follows consultations and Cabinet approval. Consideration of the material conditions within the context of the Risk-Adjusted Strategy motivated a decision to endorse this further extension," she added.
