Dale Steyn, while in conversation with former England batsman Kevin Pietersen before the start of the lockdown, had said that people would have to take care of each other amidst these extraordinary times.
"It is at test for us, the time when people have to take care for each other but they are at the beaches, I mean what are they doing, there must be a reason why that is happening," Steyn said.
Dale Steyn had also said that his mother, girlfriend, a friend, 4 dogs and a cat were going to be with him during the lockdown.
Earlier, it has been reported that there has been a notable rise in the number of death cases since the start of lockdown 3 in South Africa. Lockdown 3 has lifted the ban on sale of alcohol and this has been taken as a possible reason for the rise in death cases by
murder.
“Until Monday the 1st of June which is not an entirely dangerous day, for the first time since the lockdown, we got reports of 40 people killed. The next day there were 51 [murders] and there were 69 this past Sunday," police minister Bheki Cele had revealed.
