Note – inter-provincial travel will be allowed from midnight tonight (Monday, August 17). |
President Cyril Ramaphosa announced on Saturday (August 15) that, from midnight on Monday (August 17), all restrictions on inter-provincial leisure travel would be lifted.
This week’s poll question is:
Is the recent announcement of inter-provincial travel going to help the sustainability of your business?
- Yes, it will go a long way.
- Maybe, but it won’t be very profitable.
- No, unfortunately we need international travellers to make a real difference.
