Former finance minister Tito Mboweni has expressed concern about people who are flouting Covid-19 regulations as if the pandemic is no longer a threat.
“I don’t know what is wrong with us. We go to large gatherings, parties, funerals and church services. No masks. Why do we do these things? People are dying, relatives, friends. Covid-19 is still here,” he tweeted on Monday.
Current Covid-19 regulations require people who attend indoor and outdoor gatherings involving more than 100 people to be fully vaccinated and in possession of a valid vaccination certificate or a valid certificate of a negative Covid-19 test, recognised by the World Health Organisation, and which was obtained not more than 72 hours before the date of the gathering.
A maximum of 50% of the venue capacity may be occupied if these conditions are met.
Here are some of the responses to Mboweni:
