LEBO KESWA | Are those making the decisions of extensions and regulations in touch with the realities of everyday life in townships and rural areas?

Taking global trends into cognisance and the inability to correctly predict how catastrophic this disease will be for fellow South Africans, one cannot help but commend the swift action of the lockdown.

Current happenings suggest failure to address hardships experienced beyond the suburbs. At the beginning it was all too easy for the rich to berate fellow poor South Africans, who are mainly black, when they flocked to stores after the start of the lockdown. The poor had not had the opportunity to buy groceries ahead of the lockdown date as it was before paydays on the 25th and 30th of March.

Thousands of South Africans who make a living informally and do not meet the categories required for the unemployment fund are home and without means of generating an income to feed their families. I must admit, however, that it is commendable that many South Africans have heeded the call of the president and by far and large respected the stipulations of the lockdown, albeit with difficulty, while some dug deep to give to donate to the poor.

Opposition blame rising Covid-19 infections on Western Cape government's leadershipThe Western Cape government has been blamed for the increasing number of infections among the poor in the province after releasing a list of area-specific cases by suburb. TheCapeArgus Level3Lockdown TheCapeArgus What a surprise. Should the DA therefore blame the ANC for all the other infections ? Patience, folks. TheCapeArgus Does this idiot from the ANC ever go into townships. There is the normal life going on. Spaza shops are open, selling cigarettes and alcohol. Isn't the fucking ANC resposible for the police ? Why not going into townships and forcing the implementation of the lockdown regulations? TheCapeArgus The lockdown restrictions have been eased by the president just as the DA led Western Cape (WC) asked. Now we will wait and see if this strategy will work as it has been said that the WC has the highest number of registered cases of infected people. Politicians don't care.
