I& #39;ll never understand the mindset that the "now leaders" of this country have. COVID-19 started last year. First outbreaks were from China. They& #39;ve dealt with this pandemic in the safest & most DISCIPLINED way. They literally

A whole full "TRACING BOARD" on how this pandemic should be dealt with. We are not economically as advanced as China. But we could have copied the same tatics when dealing with the pandemic. The first outbreaks we had, we put the country on lockdown and should have remained at

At level 5 until the low positively test cases had recovered from the virus so that we could move down to different levels of the lockdown gradually with greater speed to avoid the harm of the economy. Instead we moved down to level 4 when we were initially not ready.

We could have used the 500 billion Rand COVID-19 package to keep us a float during this time and dealt with food packages and their distributions carefully during this time. Not everyone needed a permit but serious non-essential services were awarded permits

Now we plan to move down to level 3 of the lockdown with cases rising like crazy. 1 of May (level 4) we sat at 5k cases. Today 24 May, we sit at 21k cases and we moving down to level 3, I may be dumb here and there but I& #39;ve never seen something more stupid than this.

The way China had discipline in dealing with this pandemic, today they lockdown the country when even a mere 2 cases have been reported. That time China has one of the biggest population in the world.
They gave you guys a "Tracing board" ... do you understand?

A whole full "TRACING BOARD" , all we had to do was copy . Instead we went and drew something so & #39;WIGGLY& #39;

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🙁" title="Slightly frowning face" aria-label="Emoji: Slightly frowning face">, whilst not utilizing a whole full "TRACING BOARD" in front of our eyes. Now I& #39;m going to touch on this alcohol and cigarette issue. Alcohol and cigarettes have quite

A significant contribution to the country& #39;s GDP. Most shops are open and almost all products are being sold since they are considered as essentials. The country& #39;s law allows citizens over 18 (A WHOLE FULL ADULT WHO CAN THINK, thank you

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Crying face">) to use cigarettes and alcohol

These products even warn of the health risk they cause on their cover packages.The users know very well the harmful health risk of using these products. IT IS A CHOICE

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="‼" title="Double exclamation mark" aria-label="Emoji: Double exclamation mark"> To use these products!You know that you putting yourself vulnerable of harmful suffering/dying from the virus.

Why are we making such decisions for grown ups? Ye?

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👏" title="Clapping hands sign" aria-label="Emoji: Clapping hands sign"> The problem is that the government& #39;s excuse is they are avoiding more hospitalising cases and for the road safety of this country.

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🤦🏽‍♀️" title="Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)" aria-label="Emoji: Woman facepalming (medium skin tone)"> You should be restricting movements because when we move the virus spreads and not the

consumption of these products.
Another problem is that you& #39;ve allowed people to use these products freely at their homes but they are now prohibited from buying them. Whats the difference really? Those who consume them now freely at their homes will also contribute to

Hospitalization cases and road safety issues!!!! WHERE IS THE LOGIC IN THIS?

https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="😢" title="Crying face" aria-label="Emoji: Crying face"> Now people will go buy illegal products which will definitely increase the hospitalization cases and roady safety accidents cases , oh and grow the BLACK MARKET and decrease the economic growth.

Did you guys really think this through or you just want to show who has power in this country? Are you trying to change this country into an authoritarian state??? Is it fair that almost all products arr being sold expect for these ones, how constitutional

Do you really care about the people of this country when you can& #39;t deal with complex matter in the safest and simplest way?

I& #39;m genuinely getting tired of South African factions in Politics. I love this country and I& #39;ve dedicated my life to studying specifically issues we are facing so that I may contribute in fixing them. But I& #39;m loosing hope and doubting my career choice because of those who make

a mockery out of this country. We are a joke to the leaders of this country. We are not taken serious and you guys don& #39;t deserve the expert advice from different fields in our economy. You take them for granted. I& #39;m writing this because I& #39;m honestly fed up
