Individuals who purchased homes before the commencement of the lockdown will now be allowed to relocate and move their goods, under strict regulations in level 4 of the lockdown, but only until June 7.

The revised regulations were published by Minister of Co-operative Governance and Traditional Affairs (COGTA) Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma in the Government Gazette on May 7.

The regulations include new lease/purchase agreements and businesses moving to new premises.

Movements to new residences can only be done on a once-off basis between 7 May and 7 June.

Permits obtained from the police station are required to carry out relocation within and across provincial, metropolitan and district boundaries.

Previously, only the deeds office was allowed to operate but a number of changes were made with strict conditions.
