Now is the time to heal, to recover and to rebuild. It is a moment to remember those who have lost their lives and the many people who are still struggling with the effects of the disease. Fellow South Africans, The end of the National State of Disaster is an important milestone in our fight against the pandemic. While the pandemic is not over, and while the virus remains among us, these conditions no longer require that we remain in a National State of Disaster. The declaration of a state of disaster was a response to a global health crisis that posed a grave threat to the lives and the well-being of our people. It should provide our businesses with certainty that they can operate and invest without the prospect of further restrictions. The changing nature of the pandemic in our country was most evident in the fourth wave of the pandemic in December and January. There is one last measure that will outlive the National State of Disaster. This is precisely the purpose for which a state of disaster is intended: to enable an effective disaster response that saves lives. The few transitional measures that remain are limited in scope, and allow almost all social and economic activity to resume as normal. All these measures were necessary not only to respond to the devastating effects of the pandemic on human health, but also to limit the great cost to society and the economy. It enabled the establishment of the Covid TERS scheme, which provided wage support to millions of workers.

President Cyril Ramaphosa has slammed ANC support for Operation Dudala. Speaking to local media houses on Sunday, after a party conference in Mpumalanga, eastern South Africa, he argued his party couldn't back the organisation.
