The way CR introduced and explained the lockdown it would have had a good chance of working and being complied with without too much force, the way it has been gazetted will be its undoing, needing heavy handed enforcement.
I don't have a good feeling about this.

You are being absolutely ridiculous, do you really expect the draft to list every single item that you can buy. Please use some common sense and stop panicking.

No, one wouldn't expect then to list every item... but they explicitly mentioned which items can be bought - no general blanket statements.

So nobody wants to panic, but at this point we don't know what to expect.

Hope it's badly written. Really not excited about these options.

This is nonsense. Some of us can't tolerate things like milk, cooking oil, or refined flour. There has to be alternatives. Only thing I can eat in the morning is All-Bran or by day 21 I will be like a stuffed turkey. There is no way anyone can decide what's essential food or groceries for an individual. Screw them, if I can't find something I will just drive around till I do so this doesn't do anybody any good and hopefully common sense prevails with shop owners. This has either been poorly communicated or they have no idea what the eff they're doing. Someone said we'll find fault no matter what they do but it's this African stupidity that's the problem. Telling everyone to stick to basic goods is a recipe for creating a bigger disaster now.

I know it's ridiculous - In a normal world, but in a normal world, I'd trust that law enforcement would agree with you too. Here, not so much - any excuse, especially now that they have the power to arrest you for "contravening lockdown rules"

So kids aren't allowed to go from one parent to another if parents don't live together... assuming there are no exceptions to the prescribed rules.

Lol I know that - I'm a whole 600m away from a few stores anyways, I doubt I'll run into anyone - I'm just saying that theres a lot of room for them to take advantage
