WATCH: No social distancing at Kwa Mai Mai in JHB
There was no social distancing in sight at Kwa Mai Mai in Johannesburg at the weekend as a number of people flocked to the area for a good time.
It seems the coronavirus took a break this weekend, or at least in some areas, as videos of people having social gatherings trended on social media.
While many South Africans are abiding by the regulations put forward by the government, some are just not sticking to the rules, which state that no more than 50 people should gather for an event.
