Schools reopen from Monday after extended winter break
It is back to school for pupils and teachers on Monday after an extended winter break due to the third coronavirus wave.
Strict health protocols and other measures announced by the Basic Education Minister Angie Motshekga remain in place.
President Cyril Ramaphosa said on Sunday the latest figures suggest that we have largely passed the peak of the third wave.

But as infections in Gauteng fall, daily new infections in KwaZulu-Natal, the Western Cape and the Eastern Cape continue to climb.
Going forward, gatherings will be allowed but will be limited to a maximum of 50 people indoors and 100 people outdoors.
"Gatherings include religious services, political events and social gatherings. The limits on venue capacity also apply to restaurants, gyms, fitness centres, bars, taverns and similar places,” Ramaphosa said.
