Minister ...
IsiXhosa:
... kha ukhe usincedise kancinci kuba ingathi kukhona ukubhideka okuninzi.
English: This Sunday the President announced that the country would be moving to level 3 from 1 June with the targeted focus on hotspots which happen to be most of the metros in the country. Yesterday during a presentation you made in the NCOP you stated that hotspots would not be moving to level 3 but would rather remain on level 4. This afternoon you once again ... [Inaudible.] ... back and sought to clarify by stating that hotspots will in fact remain on level 3 sighting an outdated presentation for the confusion.
It seems the Minister of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs also had outdated information because it was also in her presentation that hotspots would in fact not be moving to level 3. Now, my concern is with four days to go before 1 June many South Africans remain uncertain about what level 3 regulations will mean for them and what it will mean for their lives and their livelihoods.
Minister, is this confusion an indication of genuine incoherence in government or is this just another direct contradiction of the President? [Applause.]
