Following the hard lockdown Kubayi-Ngubane says South Africans are being reintroduced to their country.
“South Africans were looking for leadership, to see that they can indeed enjoy the country. Sincere appreciation to all South Africans who have heeded the call to leave their home and help us save jobs. A stumbling block at the moment is affordability and access – the department is pleading with sector players to be more accommodative of locals pockets. ”
The Minister also heeded the president’s call and joined in on the Jerusalema dance challenge.
