These regulations will remain in force throughout and after the lockdown until such time as the President confirms that South Africa is no longer in a state of emergency.

The President in his state of the nation address on Monday, 23 March 2020 made it clear that the regulations will be strictly enforced and there will be zero-tolerance for non-compliance. Regulatory compliance functions within organisations should assess the impact on their operations and support the design of appropriate control mechanisms to ensure compliance.
