Rather stop travel between provinces

Too late for that government don't worry busy with looting the country.

What about the 4th wave etc

All because of this neh

Close all schools and also places of worship, Taverns and nightclubs. Booze to be sold for home consumption only. At least do this in Gauteng. It will be a start. We only starting with the third wave, imagine when we hit the middle of it. Act now!!! David_Makhura Lesufi

UrbanLo It is not practical and executable

Lol just after G7 summit is over.. But anyway other animals are more equal. It's all a scam

Gauteng needs stricter control measures. There I definitely agree

Yes please keep them there in Gauteng...

God Bless South Africa

Excellent,more loss of revenue,beating innocent civilians,cops selling confiscated booze,sjamboking people for not wearing masks...

MozzeyFlaco

The dictator is using this fake virus to loot and dictate people's lives. I don't buy into this rubbish anymore

Third wave of shrinking people's lives with something you don't have solution for it.

Unfortunately if we don't behave it's the right thing to do.

Bullshit story this they just want to cripple business.

Pure bull💩

Please do it already PresidencyZA how many more deaths are you waiting for?

EmmanuelMabhena we must get my birthday Hennessy before they ban 🤣🤣🥺🥺! Can’t be sober again this year..🙈

I really hope they do. So many people getting sick. Hospitals are full. What's happening with the Nasrec? Is that still operational?

Tsek

There is no need to ban Alcohol close taverns that allow sit ins and manage people drinking outside they homes. Nothing wrong with drinking buy and relax at home and put a 50% workplace policy in place for all employees not only Gov. CyrilRamaphosa DlaminiZuma HealthZA

How many elderly folks have these ANC idiots ( CyrilRamaphosa ) vaccinated so far ?

Abramjee YES PLEASE 🙏🙏

Family meeting loading...

All Provinces not Gauteng only.

Other nations have moved foward, we still talking 3rd wave.

It was definitely different ( the spread ) when alcohol was reduced to Mon to Thursday sales . Do that and we solve many problems .

I wanna hear this...same old speech from the Nose of South Africa

Here we go again...this useless MYANC government's only solution is 'let's ban alcohol'

Ke utlwile feela ha David are 'these level 2 regulation are ineffective'

They have looted resources for Covid Now the masses (poor of the poorest must be locked up )💔💔💔💔 Shame on Looters . The Government itself is also a Pandemic to its own people

Fukc off

Is this Corona Virus got time of travelling or be transmitted? Because i do not understand about Curfew ?!

Mixed messages from Govt. 'Stay safe', but the President attends gatherings and photo shoots with no mask. Yes, HE is vaccinated, but could still potentially spread the virus.

Hopefully the prez will have his speech tonight. Things are starting to get out of hand.

Government considers? Ay they are fucking useless honestly

More bullshit.

Why every time they talk about stricter regulations they talk about alcohol....covid infect people who're drinking alcohol only?

Gatherings should be reduced to max 50 immediately for a start, but short, sharp TARGETED Lockdowns with Test & Trace vaccination is the only way to prevent a severe Third wave. No inter-provincial travel for upcoming school holidays.

Gatherings are such an issue. No masks, no social distancing. It takes on infected person to cause an outbreak at these gatherings.

Lockdown with such loadshedding?💔😕

While government can't provide water to hospitals. Ok.

LOAD SHEDDING

🖕🏻

GovernmentZA le Ka nyela megwete

And so the anti-Booze propaganda begins. Stock up, with immediate effect.

Why Gauteng only
