Still no SANDF COVID-19 stats - defenceWeb

The SA National Defence Force (SANDF) is, along with police and metro law enforcement officers, at the forefront of enforcing national state of disaster regulations to prevent coronavirus spread. Armed soldiers in camouflage fatigues dutifully masked and gloved are seen supporting law...

Fok, what case was this? We should just tie them up in litigation forever. But I doubt any courts will side with dreaded Devil (Jesus) Juice or with The Jol. The moment they do that, it opens the Don and Her Doekness to a small megaton of lawsuits in claims courts, i.e loss of income. Each one citing high court or SCA cases. Would be slam dunk cases. From spazas to restaurants, to the bottle stores, farmers etc. I can see it now. We would have to appoint a small army just to handle the litigation. No ways this is going to happen.

What I foresee in my crystal ball - by 15 Aug, level 1, masks mandatory, social distancing encouraged, still a ban on big events and everything else open. A month after that, level "no1 hold us accountable and carry on please, you were led and you are welcome"

At a pivotal juncture in the country’s fight against the Covid-19 coronavirus, when the rate of infections is almost at a peak and healthcare workers’ cries for adequate personal protective equipment (PPE) are falling on deaf ears, it has emerged that South Africa made generous donations of “medical material supplies” worth tens of millions of rands to the Cuban government.

The ANC-led government, whose response to the pandemic has been hampered by rampant allegations of mass looting of Covid-19 relief funds, has been publicly thanked by the Caribbean island country for making not one but two donations of medical materials and food supplies.

We hear of appeals succeeding all the time, but I will never donate money for an appeal. They should've pulled it off on first attempt. Basically asking people to donate money to lawyers.

Top lawyers would do this pro bono if they thought there was any prospect of success. This is because they would be on TV and trend on Twitter.

If you look at his twitter feed, they only need something like R100k, the lawyers are definitely doing it pro-bono. Their fees will be anything between R20k and R50k per day. This will be for the court costs only at that amount.

"Nothing changes in Africa, ever...
Certainly, much of our news has started feeling like a nature documentary narrated by David Attenborough...
“It has been a lean winter, but now it is Covid season, and at last the tenders have returned. In one of the planet’s greatest spectacles, these billions of rand will stampede unchecked across the savannah for months. And the cadres are waiting.

“Here, in a crumbling backwater, two young Magashules have caught a tender. At first they are tentative: what if there are Hawks about? Their father, keeping a watchful eye over his cubs, reassures them that the Hawks are over at the Gigabas.

“Cut off from the group, the small tender bleats, frantically calling for a journalist or an auditor. But it’s too late. The first bites are small – just over R2m – but in time, these cubs will take the place of their father, to continue the great circle of extraction, as it was before and as it will always be...”
