"They claim that there was social distancing but that is irrelevant because in terms of Disaster Management Act, no gathering may take place unless it is a funeral. This was most certainly not a funeral."

Its expected from the DA. 🤨🤨🤨

In these difficult times oppostion parties must not use unwanted issues for Political gain .Rather support the Premier to Flatten the curb .So economic activities will assist the hungry.

About time this tin pot dictator spent time in an orange suit.

We are fighting each other now grow up DA and the pandemic words if encouragement from the premier means a lot we not alone.

The D.A is forever in the limelight for laying a criminal charge against some minister or the other. Grow up John Steenhuisen...Your party gets more dysfunctional with each passing day...This party screams WEAK to me

Da D.A had nothing better to do than be a pain in da was sometimes. da Premier was on a call of duty while da D.A was more worried about its Lockdown strategy being used by da President. To date da D.A had done nothing that deserves much applause. da D.A is a Dysfunctional Act

Really DA? Dont you (DA) guys have better things to do than that?

It's these narrow-minded antics that will continue to eat onto the DA's support, particularly among black people. It's only a matter of time before they lay a criminal charge against Doctors and Nurses for not observing social distancing while operating on a patient.

Lol cheap politicking our enemy is corona not anyone

And have a look at the KZN numbers they close to brining it onto control he needs to be a better example

And then the idiot talks abt extending the restrict in Durban

It's hard taking political party seriously in South Africa because all they care about is what the other party is doing and not how the people are doing
