South Africa’s Minister of Justice Ronald Lamola said that there was already a clear indication that the country’s state of disaster will be extended beyond the 15th of January.
The declaration is meant to come to an end in two weeks' time but Lamola, during a media briefing, told journalists that if there was a review on the cards, it was likely to happen around the 10th of next month.
President Cyril Ramaphosa placed the country on alert level 3 on Monday night, restricting nightclubs, beach visitations and the sale of alcohol.
