While South Africa approaches the middle of its 21-day lockdown, it has emerged that lockdown may have to be extended by between two and four months., these projections were made by US business consultancy firm Boston Consulting Group .
On Friday, in the Western Cape, Mkhize referred to an earlier warning, that the seemingly low rates of infection were the “calm before the storm”. He said there was scientific evidence showing that the number of internal transmissions was much higher than initially thought.And, with President Cyril Ramaphosa and national government largely following the example set out by China during its quarantine protocols, the lockdown is very likely to be extended.
It explained that although Africa has a younger population that the rest of the world, many citizens face health challenges such as HIV, TB and malnutrition, as well as social inequality, which makes the population more vulnerable to illnesses.
Give us a break
I've never understood the notion of getting assessments done by companies who have done little to no assessments in their primary business locations. I won't question the results of the assessment but the credibility of the auditors
this is a bullshit american report, stop fearmongering an speculating
Think criminals also goner score on this1 breaking inns at tarvens,liquor stores,pharmacies,food stores etc watch the space

Why do you repeat this crap? WTF does a business consulting firm know about virology and epidemiology. According to a professor of epidemics this would be the wrong tactic. Please stop sharing sensationalist rubbish.
There will be nothing to come back to except civil war
Just let us buy smokes and alcohol
As long as it is configured, and we all allowed to go to work. In this current LockdownSA, only radio & TV personalities and essential services workers who do not have to worry about debit orders returning empty handed. Day11 Covid_19 StayAtHomeSA
Lol
None of this makes sense considering increased mobile testing, youngest population, current trajectory and possible treatments over coming weeks. No thanks. Next
Our eights are being violated by the state, Just for something that we are not even sure of.
What does that BCG, report say about America?
And how is my March salary going to stretch until August huh? As it stands ive no income coming at the end of April. Government better have a plan for this, can't bring a country to a stand still for four months.
They will have to come up with another plan, people have to work. It's sheer madness.
There will be massive civilian resistance and protest against this. Expect chaos. Unless of course this is what the government want so that they can level the playing field and move on immigrants...
'these projections were made by US business consultancy firm Boston Consulting Group (BCG)' these ones are being hit hard by Coronavirus virus they think everyone is gonna go through the same thing, if the virus never bothered Beijing or Shanghai it's possible might not bother SA
🤦🏾♂️

NOOOO😭😭😭😭😭
This type of article unnecessarily causes panic. Disappointed that stoops to this level. Ethical reporting covers not just data and facts but also public welfare, rather than waiting for official information from PresidencyZA
😭😭

We will not allow that nonsense
Bear in mind that if that happens, doctors will go bankrupt!!!
Are you kidding me, who's gonna pay rent water and lights for us. This is madness
This will destroy the economy
Give us money to buy food then will comply ✔️✔️✔️
Now dt wld b an absurd move
The people will revolt
Ramsphosa is a true puppet president; a U.S proxy! All his policies are and will be dictated by Washington for the duration of his tenure! We are now officially a U.S cliental state, and the irony is that Africans will still vote for him in numbers to give a second term.
Missfeliciam The fact is we need more than 21 days, but crime will rise, abazizamelayo bazophila ngani?
How is that We were told this virus can take up to two weeks to show.. how did it become two months.. 4-6 weeks at best should do.. this is starting to look like a scheme cooked up by the who's who..
Open only Provinces with few infections. Those with high infections aluta continua
If they can only allow us a window to go fetch our kids tht hv been stuck in another province since school closure, please. We hv a 3 yr old stuck in George while we are in Gauteng
Not happen
It should.
NO!!!
You guys are talking nonsense! Who said that?
Can we at least have a week to get supplies and change lockdown houses and lockdown buddies? 😒
Are they crazy. This will be the end of peace here in sa. Looters and law breakers will.all rise
We wont mind the extension for as long as we take a short break from lockdown
This is nonsense!
So that bill gates can have enough time to inject their African animals with this nasty vaccine
CyrilRamaphosa is this true or fake news?
Stop spreading fake news please
Well, that has always been on the cards. That's why Cyril wrote to speaker of Parliament telling her about the deployment of soldiers till June. The plan is keep us indoors till Gates vaccine is ready n we all vaccinated.
Fine, just give me, my smokes...
People will loot shops because of hunger
Fucking madness. How do they expect us to survive and make a living.
Interesting,as I search the reports about the US lockdown. We now don’t know if it’s part of the bigger plan of testing vaccine all over Africa ,using SA as an entry so that it looks more accessible. After all ,AU chair is occupied by SA. This is me just thinking out loud 🤔
goodness lockdown that long will be really bad overall
Season 2 already out
Ignorance will get US here!!!
