Celebrate NYE & Help Stop The Spread of Coronavirus

As part of the ZAlebs #DontBeAMampara campaign in association with The Solidarity Fund, we’re sharing our top tips on how to celebrate New Year’s Eve while wearing a mask properly, practicing social distancing, and staying at home.

For the past week, the ZAlebs fam has been sharing their plans and tips on how they intend to enjoy NYE while helping to prevent the spread of Coronavirus and answering some of Mzansi’s biggest questions. 

How can I celebrate NYE without attending a party?

Who needs a party when you’re with loved ones? That’s the message from the Zalebs fam this New Year as they opt to stay home, stay safe, and help prevent the spread of Coronavirus. At midnight they’ll light a candle for those we lost this year and pray for a brighter 2021.

Staying home for New Year’s doesn’t have to be boring! Break away from tradition by gathering the family for some indoor fun. #UnityInAction #DontBeAMampara 😷 ✊ 🇿🇦 https://t.co/x2BmBQVTjr

In short, everyone should do their bit to help prevent the spread of Coronavirus.

😷✊🇿🇦 My fellow South Africans, you heard what the President said, all social gatherings are on hold. #DontBeAMampara, avoid close contact and crowded spaces at all costs.
