Wear your mask or we will arrest you warns Bheki Cele
Police Minister, Bheki Cele says there will be consequences for those who refuse to wear a mask.
Cele has told law enforcement officials to enforce the wearing of masks, "You are going to arrest the person who refuses to wear the mask. Be kind with them, tell them to wear their mask, but if they refuse, arrest them."

The minister says he isn't happy that no arrests have been made yet as there are many people who continue to ignore regulations around masking up.
On Monday, President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that it was an offence to be in public without a mask and warned people could face jail time if caught.
