Not everyone was positively moved by President Cyril Ramaphosa's announcement of victory of the country's receipt of a million Covid-19 vaccines, the lifting of the beach and alcohol bans and the adjustment of the curfew by a few hours.

While the opposition party has welcomed the arrival of the Covid-19 vaccine on SA shores, it stressed that this was a little too late. It also criticised government for what it deemed to be a precise rollout plan.

“No matter how Ramaphosa spins it, citizens have been badly let down by an incapable state that has neither the ability nor the will to protect lives and livelihoods. That the first vaccines only arrived on our shores today is a failure,” he added. Political party GOOD said that Ramaphosa's announcement that there had been a reduction in Covid-19 infections and hospital admissions was a positive one.

“The introduction of stringent restrictions in late December 2020 was necessary to curb the surge of the second-wave infections and to reduce the strain on health-care workers, facilities and critical care units. The restrictions have proven to be effective but they should only remain in place for as long as is necessary.

“The reopening of some alcohol trade, the relaxation of curfew hours and the opening of public amenities is an important step but we must do everything we can to avoid the reintroduction of restrictions when we are faced with the inevitable third wave.

Couple of months ago I came across a recommendation about Teddygrey3305 wealth how he helped investors to earn lots of money with their investments. and I decided to give a trial with the little I have. Now my little has turned into something great which was not my expectation

It is true when they say,” sometimes it is wise to say nothing”...especially when what you say has nothing of substance.

Hell for you to go! Must we continue to die of hunger and thirsty?

Politically I have many issues against John, and I won't even bother to read the article. But the title is spot on, the ANC government is the weak link. On this statement I agree with the leader of the official opposition.

The speech was not about moving people but to inform the notion about important issues
