Africa-Press<\/a> – South-Africa<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Cape Town \u2013 Police Minister Bheki Cele says police will not be hesitant to make arrests as the country moves to an adjusted level 3 lockdown.<\/p>\n

Cele was briefing the media as part of the National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC) on Tuesday on the enforcement of the new regulations.<\/p>\n

The minister said the issue of masks has been a particular concern for the police for sometime.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur police have been out there making a plea that people must wear their mask which up to this point has been found to be a major preventative.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are glad now that the enforcement has been heightened, we are not just going to tell you to wear your mask or remind you to wear a mask, if you don\u2019t you will definitely be arrested or fined.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cele said people found to be arrested or fined will have criminal records for not wearing a mask.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want people to respect this, there will be consequences,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Cele spoke about a clamp down on the distribution of alcohol during level 3 of the restrictions.<\/p>\n

Under the regulations, alcohol sales have again been banned, to decrease the number of trauma cases in hospitals.<\/p>\n

Cele said: \u201cAlcohol may not be sold anywhere.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhether off or on consumption, the transportation of alcohol is also prohibited.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no moving alcohol from point A to point B.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo putting it in your (car) boot, no taking it next door to drink it there.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe alcohol must stay where it is.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou are only allowed to drink the alcohol you have in your house.\u201d<\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Cele said more resources would be deployed to enforce stringent measures to ensure compliance with lockdown regulations.<\/p>\n

Cele was on a two-day trip as part of a \u201cSafer Festive Season\u201d inspection tour in the Western Cape.<\/p>\n

Under the new regulations the curfew has now been moved to 9pm-6am.<\/p>\n

Cele said police will not delay to arrest should anyone be caught outside of the curfew times.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe usually tell you to go home, now we will give you a new home (police station).<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we see anyone vagabonding outside during 9pm-6am we will make sure you greet the magistrate and it will be a criminal offence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cele said anyone who commits this office could spend up to six months in jail.<\/p>\n
