He said, “All artists have been given the green light to start performing considering they do not exceed the stipulated number of 50.”

Machakaire did not however say when the latest developments will take effect but urged caution.

“May we also not abuse this privilege and ensure that we adhere to the WHO and National COVID 19 task force regulations outlined.”
