On Sunday, President Ramaphosa announced that South Africa would be dropping to alert level 3 on June 1.

After some confusion later in the week, it has been clarified that the entire country will do so, but uncertainty remains around many of the regulations from the start of next month.

Will beaches and parks be open for exercise? Are you still limited to within five kilometres of your residence? What hours will alcohol be sold?

Those, and thousands of other important specifics, need explaining, which is what co-operative governance and traditional affairs minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, along with trade and industry minister Ebrahim Patel, will do in a media briefing slated to begin at 2PM.

According to TimesLIVE, this will be followed by a ministerial justice, crime prevention and security cluster briefing from 5PM.

Media briefings involving Dlamini-Zuma tend to see a collective spike in blood pressure, so if you’ve managed to keep some liquor reserves handy, now may be the time to dabble.

I would suggest having a soothing smoke as well, but those are even harder to come by.

As with all of these briefings, it may not kick off at 2PM on the button. While you wait, you can read about the government’s reasoning for banning the sale of tobacco, and some other issues that also deserve your ire.

Buckle up:
