Oh Dean, Dean. Really? "The stuff the MSM won& #39;t tell you"? What are you running there, a political party or a WhatsApp group? You& #39;re being & #39;attacked& #39; because you& #39;re feeding us EFF-lite. You& #39;re gonna need to come up with your own line of party drivel. A cursory search gives me:
Daily Maverick: "There is a terrible resonance with our history of repression when we watch videos of the army on patrol in the townships. Our collective hearts lurch with shattered memories as we hear of policemen beating people into submission." https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2020-04-03-policing-in-a-time-of-covid-19/">https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2...
News24 (Although this is attributed a dude called John Steenhuisen, it appears to be from a crazy WhatsApp group): "The government has effectively tried to suspend our constitutional democracy as part of the lockdown to contain the Covid-19 pandemic." https://www.news24.com/Columnists/GuestColumn/john-steenhuisen-the-bill-of-rights-is-under-assault-while-thandi-modise-drags-her-feet-20200403">https://www.news24.com/Columnist...
Daily Maverick: "The lockdown cannot be used to continue to suppress the rights and lives of inner-city residents, along with those living precariously, throughout South Africa." https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2020-04-03-covid-19-lockdown-needs-to-protect-inner-city-communities/">https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2...
News24: "the net result was to hand wide and intrusive powers to the government.... Make no mistake, this is wide open to abuse in the wrong hands. In a time when the collective attention is spread thin, this is one issue we must hold in our gaze." https://www.news24.com/Columnists/GuestColumn/advocacy-new-privacy-rules-for-covid-19-tracking-a-step-in-the-right-direction-but-20200404-2">https://www.news24.com/Columnist...
Oh, and here& #39;s one by me, now that I think about it . "It’s not that we shouldn’t be alarmed at a misuse of force by the SA Police Service and SA National Defence Force. There are real concerns, and there are very real examples against which we absolutely have to fight back...
"But we can’t let the cretins in the datamine hijack these concerns, with the aim of driving us apart and destroying the very necessary collaborative power we need to solve the large societal problems." https://www.businesslive.co.za/fm/features/2020-04-02-covid-19-pandemic-brings-trolls-out-of-their-holes/">https://www.businesslive.co.za/fm/featur...
