DA, FF+ head to court to challenge lockdownGovernment is coming under fire from opposition parties for its lockdown regulations. Why thou? Whilst I agree that the economy should be protected people in the western cape are not adhering to any lock down laws, they are not even practicing social distancing. They are doing more tests but they are also the most disobedient province. Poor leadership! The RLF is calling upon the government to keep our Security Forces on our Streets until the next National General Election to deal with gangsters, criminal syndicates, murder, home & business robberies. Yes. Well done. For once DA and FF plus are headed in the right direction. Let's hope sanity will prevail.
