Provided, all tracker systems are still activated in the vehicles in question. I can see those that want to move around being clever enough to deactivate their devices when they move around.

Do you have an option of activating and deactivating a tracker unit as it suits you?

You surely can't expect government to make a list of the hundreds of things that can and cannot be sold. Government has made the regulations and Woolies, PnP, Spar, etc. have looked at the things they sell and then decided based on that.

If a shop like Spar is not abiding to the regulations, or interpreted it in their own way, and you need what they have, then just buy from them.

Nope, Adolf Cele says otherwise. Read the thread.

They don't need to.

They can just say if it's in stock you can sell it, and then give a list of the things that can be restocked.

You make it sound so simple.

 

[daveza]

Sell whatever you have - that's not rocket science.

It is that fscking simple...

If you have the stock, you can sell it.

If you can't get more stock, then you obviously can't sell that once you run out. Simple.

Instead we have stock sitting on shelves, and in DC's that is potentially going to have to go to waste because of people like power hungry Don Bheki and their illogical bollocks.

Damn right I do! It is the first thing I did when mine was fitted -- searched found it and worked out how and under what conditions it could be deactivated. The reason was not to deliberately do it but to try and second guess the crooks and mitigate against them being able to do so.

So how does the public know which shop has stock of what? Do people go around to every PnP, Spar, Woolies in a 10km radius until they maybe find what they need?

It's simple right now. If a shop doesn't have something you can just assume that the others also don't. Then you do without it and go back home instead of running around everywhere.

Spot on! Three times easier than the current mess and fully under the control of the Committee running the lockdown, with limited contact points needed. And no need for Don Bheki's blue shirts to worry about anything other than cigarettes and booze.

Well if I want flour for example, I have to do just that.

Except we're doing that anyway now with the complete shyteshow that the regulations have brought about. Everyone is going to 3 or 4 shops to find everything they need.

Fiks back on.

Taxi relief fund - you are fscking kidding right ?

And with your suggestion of just selling their stock, people will be doing that for flour as well as another 100 other things.

Dailymaverick is all over it already : https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/art...-mec-locks-up-doctors-in-hospital-quarantine/

That MEC needs to be publicly flogged for being a backwards retard. The information given to the judge needs to be checked, if its false then the people responsible need to be charged with fraud immediately. If its not, then the judge who granted the order should be kicked the fsck out.

bringing the virus into my province to infect my rural people”

Aah, limpopo.
Is that the place where the pastor with the magic penis impregnated the rural people, and in a fit of anger his wife turned into a snail and terrorised the village, of rural people?

He is just a puppet on a string connected to whoever is paying him off.

Nope... because we have buckets of money to pay for a bunch of law breaking fscktards....

So basically it would be exactly as it is now, but with possibly less travelling around by people as shops would not have shelves full of shyte you can't buy.

Make up your mind...

[daveza]

So where was I..... oh yes.

They are allowing up to 50 people to travel across Provinces ( that's 6 taxis per funeral I think ).

But they have confirmed hotels and B&Bs are not open - so where tf are these 50 people going to stay ?

Erm, comprehension?

If you already know a certain Spar has what you need then you go there. If you don't then you don't know what you don't know and you don't.
