Johannesburg - Tourism Minister Mmamoloko Kubayi-Ngubane has issued a letter to all establishments, including AirBnB, requesting information about international tourists in the country.
On Monday night, President Cyril Ramaphosa stepped up government’s efforts to combat the rapidly spreading virus when he announced the 21-day lockdown. Kubayi-Ngubane said they wanted private establishments to disclose the itinerary of international tourists. “The number of coronavirus infections continues to increase, world markets have gone into a tailspin and the pandemic threatens human lives in all parts of the world and has altered life as we know it,” said Kubayi-Ngubane.
