All private preschools and early childhood development centres (ECD) may open with immediate effect, if they can do so safely, the Gauteng High Court in Pretoria has ruled.

The case had been brought by trade union Solidarity's Occupational Guild for Social Workers and their School Support Centre (SCC) against the Department of Social Development regarding the reopening of private nursery schools.

Judge Hans Fabricius on Monday ordered that all private preschool institutions offering early childhood development services (Grade R and lower) are entitled to reopen immediately.

Fabricius declared a decision by the Department of Social Development that private nursery schools remain closed under Level 3 of the coronavirus lockdown unlawful and unconstitutional.

He ordered Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu, the first respondent, to pay the costs of all the applicants.

Fabricius said Zulu's conduct fell short of what could be expected in "proceedings concerning young and vulnerable children", and expressed his "strong disapproval".

Wierdapark Midas - went there this morning to order some parts.

Heard nothing from them - phoned them, phone got transferred to Pta East branch.

Apparently they got closed due to one (or more) staff member contracting COVID-19.

Made arrangements for parts to be delivered and collected during the week.

Hindsight as a 20/20, but it's quite obvious that all other countries locked down when numbers were high, hence flattening the curve later on but flatten they did. SA went horizontal overnight, but since then we have been shooting through the stars. As we cannot lock down anymore, it looks like we will just keep going in the same direction.

Yup imagine we locked down now instead of at the start, I mean wtf logic was that? Especially since the government didn't do anything during it anyway.
