Which lockdown restrictions should be lifted?

Alcohol and cigarettes of course ,they were petty restrictions that hurt the economy and has caused lots of crime due to people being desperate -also walking your dog or jogging alone -this has caused some people to act like total dicks phoning and pimping on their neighbours

You should be able to buy anything except alcahol and cigarettes from stores that are open. Especially hardware stuff.
 
Family drives should be allowed but occupants have to remain in cars. Parking at scenic spots but staying in one's car with windows rolled 90% up.
 
I really wish one-off permits could be obtained to allow people stuck in other cities to return home.

Where are you from?

My dad is in a similar situation. He is stuck in CPT, home is Durban. He was in CPT on a work trip before the lockdown and his return flight was canceled by Safair the day before lockdown. He has been living in a B&B since then.

I can imagine that you and thousands of others like him just want to get home somehow now that the lockdown has been extended.

Besides the loneliness, there is the practicality of the situation. Spending a lot of money on hotels and B&Bs during an uncertain economy is not feasible long term.

Can you imagine how many people are going to use it the other way, just to get rid of their SO?

Definitely not alcohol and cigarettes. The stock out there is getting less and less. I hear that the police is having a field day as the illegal operators get desperate and make mistakes. The less stock there is - the more obvious they will be. And as for the 'side effects'. Cry me a river. It is the most illogical reasoning I have ever heard.

There's plenty of stock. Enough to keep the looting and illegal trade going for quite a while yet.

Allow to buy anything on shelves that one person can take out of shops without assistance. Don't allow clothes sales, fitting can spread virus.

Cloth is the least likely of surfaces to spread it.

Children's clothing is one of the things that should be considered essential.
 
My TV packed up and at these times it is surely missed. Can get supplier to open shop and sell one to me but need some kind of paper/permit to do so, they can sell fridges. Where can I try and get a permit/permission to buy a TV.

Everyone is looking for a business opportunity. CNN had a bit about drug lords in the Cape using their distribution network to trade food instead.

What about the human traffickers? They can smuggle willing humans across the country now. :unsure:
