KNYSNA NEWS - After lockdown was downgraded to Level 4 on Friday 1 May, people were finally allowed out of their houses again, and even though only for three hours a day, Knysna residents along with the rest of the country were able enjoy some welcome fresh air.

Everyone shared a welcome relief at simply being able to be out of the house, while some also pointed out just how busy the areas they visited were.

"Leisure Isle was quite busy but so beautiful to see everyone so happy." – Merle Florence
