President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the new changes, which include the permitting social, religious, political and other gatherings of a maximum of 250 people for indoor gatherings and 500 for outdoor gatherings.

He also opened the borders, which have been shut for several months.

He added that international travel would be permitted from October 1, which is music to the ears of celebs, especially Bonang Matheba.

Following the announcement, the “Being Bonang” star shared a GIF indicating that she’s ready to see the world again.

Echoing Queen B’s sentiments, record producer Gemini Major tweeted: “Can’t wait to travel, I need to connect my vibrations with the rest of the world.”

Reality TV star Zodwa posted a video clip of herself dancing in sexy underwear as her welcome to level 1 of the lockdown.
