Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (CoGTA) Dr Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma has extended the National State of Disaster to the 15th of April 2022.
This despite several organisations calling for it to end.
Dlamini Zuma said the extension took into consideration the need to continue augmenting the existing legislation and contingency arrangements undertaken by organs of state to address the impact of the disaster.
It was first declared in March 2020.
Over three million cases have been recorded thus far in the country, with 99725 deaths.
