Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs Minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma is expected to lead a briefing on 28 May, detailing how the regulations on level 3 will be treated.
However, the Harman family wants South Africa to be extra careful when leaving their house, as certain regulations will be relaxed on 1 June.
An emotional Tracy Harman explained to Breakfast with Martin Bester that she received a call from the doctor to say her husband is on a ventilator.
Anton Harman’s wife of 28 years says: "He was really worried about getting the virus. He was 54 years old. The doctors did everything they could. My husband had a good day then the next day he got worse. I don’t want anyone to go through this. Please wear your mask."
