I'm concerned you're joking around. If you're serious, you've already been told to ask older adults in your company for help.

You wasted a golden opportunity.

I reckon in 2 weeks time people will be willing to do anything for a loose cigarette...

Anyone within a 1km radius...

The locals. Pretty populous around Chatsworth and I don't really see people staying indoors at all from tomorrow.

How we're doing this here: there's a designated place outside the supermarket to queue, with markers set at 2 metre intervals for social spacing purposes. Staff (with suitable gloves/masks) are stationed at the door, and enforcing "one person out, one person in".

Over here it works, as Kiwis are law abiding folk and known to pull together in a time of crisis. Doubt this will work as well with the typically selfish "I'll do what I like, and if you don't like it, go **** yourself" mentality that South Africans have.

Leave me and my family out of your profiling .....

Another emigre, bitter and hurt and has a lot to say about a country he no longer lives in.

Just came from the shop after having worked until 5pm.

PnP, Woolworths, Checkers, Game and Woolworths Engen shelves are all empty.

No fresh fruit, Veg, Tinned food, Toilet paper, Cereal, Eggs, Cheese, Baking goods, Long life Milk and very limited fresh milk and cheeses. Very limited meats.

I actually went buy stuff I need like veg to cook with. I left empty handed with the last 2 loafs of white bread on the shelf. Very disappointing.

The news about the taxi industry planning to blatantly flout the lockdown proves my point.

As for your point: citation needed.

I’ve never mentioned ANC at all, so why would you assume such. The kid(s) will have to learn.

The ANC are the ones that should learn, but never do.

So because some shops won’t be able to sell something, all shops must be banned from selling the same thing? Sorry, that’s just stupid lowest common denominator central planning communist thinking of the worst kind.

I actually understand that. It's not about the store but about the product. Hardware was deemed nonessential but if a hardware store stocked food they could remain open but just not sell hardware. Game can stay open but only sell food. Everyone is on equal footing here so it's not about the type of store. Just don't know if it will be enforced like that. Cigarettes I don't understand though as it's a basic good sold at caffees. Same as lightbulbs.

Went to the Pick n Pay Local down the road at 8:30 this morning. Empty of people and fully stocked.

bought essentials like chips, biscuits and beacon marshmallow eggs.
also bought other crap like frozen veg, chicken, pork and milk.

If I need to go to the doctor tomorrow and they pull me over, how will that work?
