Lockdown level 3 is not enough - Sakeliga
The government's decision to move South Africa to level 3 of the lockdown is good, but not good enough for business. This is according to Sakeliga CEO Piet le Roux.
Le Roux said that the strategy of not outlawing everything except that which government permits, but to rather set general conditions and outlaw only certain sectors and activities is what Sakeliga, as well as economic experts, have been recommending for weeks.
“However, to welcome the announcements made by President Ramaphosa… as if they go far enough, as if we have not learnt how easily positions are reversed, and as if what remains is not arbitrary, onerous, and harmful would be to put relief before resolve,” le Roux added.
