However, Winde also expressed concern over possible confusion about the different levels of lockdown for "hotspots" from 1 June.

Winde said that Mkhize's presentation indicated that some hotspots could remain under Level 4 when the rest of the country moves to Level 3 on 1 June.
Winde also felt that keeping certain Western Cape areas on Level 4 would further exacerbate the economic and humanitarian "disaster" that has resulted from the lockdown.
The province is expecting to see 200 000 jobs lost as a result of the lockdown, and supports the move to Level 3 with a targeted hotspot strategy.
