South Africans took to social media to express their displeasure after President Cyril Ramaphosa reintroduced tough restrictions including a ban on alcohol sales and an extended nightly curfew.
Following the fast-increasing surge of Covid-19 cases, President Ramaphosa moved the country’s lockdown restrictions to level 4.
The delta variant, which was first discovered in India, is suspected to be driving South Africa’s Covid-19 infection increase.
“We are concerned about the rapid spread of the Delta variant and it is extremely serious,” President Cyril Ramaphosa said while addressing the country late on Sunday.
On Sunday, South Africa recorded more than 15,000 new cases, including 122 deaths, bringing its total fatalities to near 60,000.
Here are some of the reactions from Twitter following the reintroduction of level 4 lockdown restrictions ;
