Anyone see this video? He also mentions he went to a festival in Cape Town

'No previous life threatening illness'... but, you said it right there at the beginning, I heard you. Vegan. Thats a life threatening illness

This is bad. Because if the DA comes up with anything useful the ANC might not use it.

there should be only voice on this matter....from government. Just look what mixed messaging has done to the US response to their shitfest. CR management of the crises is raising alarm bells for them, they feeling FOMO. Now is not the time to play politics, this is not like managing a drought.

I see the NICD isn't allowing downloads from the Wordpress back-end, so we can no longer see the files being uploaded before the announcement is made.

They had basically sold out of tickets and chose profit over cancelling the event. This was also just before Squirrels announcement, so technically they were legal

At least Spar is quick enough to realise when they're being idiots.

nope, - my dear...that is your realm of expertise..that is what politicians do...when they not part of the news cycle, they try to inject themselves into it. If you do not sing from the same hymn book in a crises, what is the point? If they were against national government's strategy, we would have heard about it. All Steenhuisen had was praise for CR's handling of this shitfest --sure he got a stern talking to about those utterances...

Politicians gonna politick to save their own a$$es.

State of emergency was declared last week? Did you not know, or did you 'tilt'.

Are you not clear on what actually happened?

Pierre De Vos can explain it:

The organizers response so far has been beyond pitiful. There have been so many lies told in that post as well as the thread that follows.

The festival sold out and yet the organizers are claiming to have not made any profit

What did the OG poster say that was wrong, didnt seen it.

Only medical people are competent to decide on how we should isolate (once briefed on the social factors). But many are silenced as "not-central", and I've heard that some offered / discussed medical options that can help those affected have been removed - maybe fake, maybe not.

Amazes me how people are managing to fark up staying at home... humanity

The local Health inspector just left, I need to have a full time person at the entrance to the store sanitising all my customers....

He also added that they are looking at setting up the old checkpoint into town that was taken away two years ago and the local mine and council will be checking everyone entering the place..... The joys of living in a remote one road town.........
