#CapeCalm and be grateful

Today marks day 21 of the national lockdown. Had it not been extended, life would have resumed to as normal as can be in the time of a global pandemic.

Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma announced today that lockdown regulations will slacken somewhat to ensure there is no ‘floodgate’ effect once the period comes to a close.

Last night, Cape Town was treated to some of the most breathtaking sunsets we have had since the start of lockdown. This morning’s sunrise was just as spectacular.
