Halala! Celebrities celebrate level 1 lockdown

South Africa's A-list stars have joined the masses in celebrating President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement that the country will move to a level 1 lockdown on Sunday. 

"Now is the time to return our country, its people and our economy to a situation that is more normal, that more resembles the lives that we were living six months ago," the President said in his address on Wednesday. 

The ban on international travel has been lifted and venue restrictions have been eased. 

From October 1, you will be allowed to "travel into and out of South Africa for business, leisure, and other travel", but restrictions will apply for high-risk countries.

Travelers will also need to have a negative COVID-19 test result in their possession that is not older than 72 hours.  

Venues will now be able to accommodate more people - 250 people max (indoors) and 500 (outdoors), which means entertainers will be able to start hosting gigs again. 

Celebrities could not contain their excitement following the news. 

"Soon we will fly again my love!" actor Siv Ngesi captioned a picture of his passport. 

Moozlie tweeted: "My birthday is on the 22nd... IT’S ABOUT TO GO DOWN!!"

"Yes pls 500 capacity live events!!! It's not back to where it was but It's a start. Which party or festival have you missed the most??" GoodLuck wrote on Instagram.

"Question is are the other countries welcoming us in? Which ones will welcome us?" she tweeted.

East Coast Radio presenter Deon Govender is not ready to get into party and travel mode.

"Even though it’s Alert Level 1, I am still remaining on Level 5 till next year."
