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.
Kwa Mai Mai in Jepperstown, a market famous for its traditional food, music, clothing, and healers, found itself trending on Twitter when videos of people drinking and grooving circulated on Twitter.
Social media users were up in arms, condemning the behaviour, as the country recorded 8,195 new COVID-19 cases, bringing the total number of cases to 511,485.
