SA cinemas preparing to open their doors again
Both Nu Metro and Ster Kinekor are preparing to open their cinema doors again.
As the country has entered level 2 of the Covid-19 lockdown, Nu Metro says they will be switching on their projectors again on Friday 18 August.
Some of the precautions that they are taking include limiting audience numbers, and introducing so-called "bugger seats."
The selected cinemas will only be open on Fridays and Saturdays though.
