Speaking to reporters on the N1 highway on Friday, when he joined Johannesburg metro police officers conducting a roadblock, Makhubo said “the coronavirus could be all over the highway”.
“We are concerned about the number of cars we are seeing on the roads, even though people are showing us their permits and they look like valid permits,” he told reporters. “Some are going to banks. Some are going to their businesses, but they don’t seem like they are essential services. I think the permits are being abused. They are not being used for the necessary essential services for which they are meant to used. I urge every single person to stay at home and go out only to perform essential services,” he said.
Something is not right there... I doubt if all the permits are valid, to me it looks like a normal day to them meanwhile we are indoors trying to safe... Come 17th they will be passing that virus to us

lootgous No way....!!
Too many adjusting of the regulations... loopholes...no effective patrolling..
Our government is too soft this lockdown won't work
Is this a current pic ? After lockdown ?
This lockdown must end bcoz we are not abiding by it ,it's business as usual
MbalulaFikile please sir do something about this.... we don’t want the shutdown period to be increased because of negligent people who care less about other people’s lives and let alone theirs!!
Close all banks and malls please these people don't care about their lives so they want us to suffer as a result. The Gauteng premier must make a call,or let this lockdown be called off as it serves no purpose when people move around as they wish.
Who can blame them? , the transport minister always changes the rules when cornered.
From here, whatever happens is really on the governments hands than on the people. Amending lockdown regulations is a move that's gonna affect a lot of the poor
This is business as usual.
