Minister of Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta) Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma announced government’s relaxed rules on level 4 lockdown on Thursday night, and it includes allowing people to move to a new house.
The once-off movement of persons and the transportation of goods for purposes of relocation will be effective from 7 May to 7 June.
Individuals and business can now move premises within, and across, provincial, metropolitan or district boundaries during level 4.
Those who bought a house before or during the lockdown and had a transfer facilitated will be allowed to move in with their furniture or other goods, including for new lease agreements.
If you wish to take advantage of this period to move with your goods, a permit can be obtained from a police station.
Documents such as lease agreements or transfer documents showing a change of residence or ownership will have to be provided.
