Although the Nelson Mandela Bay metro is the hotspot, there’s also concern about the rest of the province.
The Eastern Cape accounts for 43% of new infections in the country.
“People in the metro need to take this virus more seriously because it’s getting really bad and people are still not wearing masks and social distancing.
Also, the government must do something about taverns, because people there are not adhering at all to COVID-19 regulations and they are making this virus will spread more.”
“We need to get more police out there in communities to make sure that people obey the COVID-19 rules because that’s the only way that people are going to listen and how we are going to decrease the numbers in the metro,” some residents say.
A decision about the re-opening of the initiation season is expected next week. Traditional leaders are adamant that they are ready to host initiates.
An estimated 40 000 young men in the Eastern Cape are set to undergo the rite of passage this December.
