Ramaphosa expected to announce regional alcohol restrictions and extended curfew

[Lupus]

I got tired of it from day 1, especially when they actually don't understand what GBV really is.

For them GBV is violence against women.

Yup and don't forget children.

 

[ToxicBunny]

Yup and don't forget children.

Ahhh yes, the children. Can't forget the children.

 

[Craig_]

Sure, I agree. BUT, If you apply the restrictions and curfews across all provinces, then you, Mr Prez, is a P0es.

He is one anyway, almost as big as the one in the kopdoek.

If I had money and resources I'd set up a pop up bottle store just for a few weeks of the festive season. Then sit back and watch the dough roll in as panic buyers clear stock week in week out.

I've been waiting for more than a year for my liquor licene, anything where you have to work with a government department is inevitably a fck up.

Yup do they not differeniate there. But only in adults.

I disagree , it would be signing a death certificate for coastal towns who survive off Dec tourists,

Tourism? It would be highly irresponsible for anyone to even consider being a tourist right now.

How do these towns survive for the rest of the year though?

 

[LCBXX]

Folks, NONE of these restriction and regulations are to curb COVID-19.

The ANC have looted R500bn, misappropriated PPE funds, built useless ambulance scooters, created massive unemployment and poverty, etc, etc.

I fear that you're being deliberately ignorant if you buy into any of this. It's been months with exposures and reports about how the above transpired, so you cannot say that you're uninformed.

For the fascists:

Towns like Mosselbay literally make enough in December to sustain itself the rest of the year, its mostly , this comes from chatting to restaurant owners, home owners, etc who rent out their homes in December.

The rest of the year, the make enough to scrape through with the other school holidays. Petro SA who was the biggest Employer , has scaled down hugely

Unless these people are talking crap

Tbh I’m going to have a hard time feeling sorry for people who make enough in a month to sustain them for the rest of the year.

Brb going to find a holiday home to purchase.

I personally know of a few families who make enough off December rentals to fund those homes for the rest of the year ( bond payments and Rates/taxes)

I've been hunting for a decent property to buy there myself that could be used as a December money maker, which i can use during the year for getaways

There shouldn't be an argument over things like this. The argument is that all the proposals that speak to curbing Covid-19, isn't going to achieve anything of the sort.

The questions are: if lockdowns worked, why is there a need for another? If it didn't work, why is there a need for another? Keep in mind that our initial 3-week lockdown was imposed to prepare the hospitals...

@Method, Why are you so adamant over this Covid-19 issue? We have more people testing positive for HIV than for Covid-19. You're going on about a vaccine for a virus that more than 99% of people, factually, survive.

Help me understand?

21k people died from it in SA so far. I would be quite upset if one of my family members had to die from it.

More people die from TB annually (by a significant margin)

Why would one of your family members die from it? Do you or any of them fit the know risk profiles of people who could suffer or die from a Covid-19 infection?

Further to the above: why do you expect other South Africans for forced to take responsibility for your personal health?

 

[upup]

No alcohol on beaches. Fought this is a old law

 

[Craig_]

Agreed, I buy my booze and drink it peacefully at home little by little while not disturbing anyone, I suspect many, if not most do this as well. But because Gov is to scared of taking those few to task, arrest them and leave them in the cella=s for a bit, we have to suffer as well.

SO the majority responsible drinkers gets punished for the minority who fcks up.

This is true, I know I'm currently at risk so I stay away from others and from the shops as far as I can. I can't expect the whole country to be fckd just so I can have one less risk for myself.

Something has to be done for Nelson Mandela and Garden Route areas

People in the EC say they are terrified of Covid yet social distancing is still not a thing.
Maybe it's the 10% who are speaking who are afraid of it while the 90% don't care.

 

[RedViking]

I heard they going to start at Lethuli House.

Would you be upset if one of your family members died from any one of the other causes that kill far far more people every year in SA? It seems weird to pick out a minority killing event for your feelings to linger on.
