EFF leader Julius Malema is against the opening of church
services calling it a trap.
"You're going to die. It's a set-up; do not go to
church. Look at what the church did in Bloemfontein [when a large number of
churchgoers were infected with Covid-19]. We have evidence of what the church
can do. Do not go to church. Our people can still pray at home. Our leaders can
still reach out to our people through different methods," Malema said.
His warning comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa announced
on Tuesday that places of worship can open under level 3 of the lockdown if
they follow strict social distancing protocols.
"Places of worship may reopen, subject to strict
restrictions - which are absolutely necessary," Ramaphosa said.
"Churches, synagogues, mosques, temples and other
recognised places of worship may resume services. But these will be limited in
size to 50 people or less, depending on the space available."
