Hundreds of Gauteng commuters defy Premier David Makhura's travel ban

Gauteng is the country's coronavirus epicentre with over half of the 709 confirmed cases being in the province.

"If people leave the province they run a risk of getting infected or they may, if they are not aware that they are infected, infect others in other parts of the country."In the next 21 days, stay in the province, stay at home, if you are not part of the essential services," premier Makhura said. Primrose Moyo said she was travelling to Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, because she would not have enough money to survive while in SA.

Thomas Munyai, who was travelling to Bloemfontein with his 14-year-old son, said after being paid he wanted to go and be with his wife.

These Gauteng so called commuters must just go home. Their countries should repatriate them

Until such time that South Africa starts counting bodies, South Africans will continue moving. The danger isn’t the Virus 🦠 anymore but the people who are offering this bug wheels

Then david should have banned the movement of taxis

They are not defying David_Makhura ban. There is no uprise. They are being ignorant and risk killing their own family especially the old and sick back in the rural homes. For as long as you put this message as though it's people vs government you are also culpable.
