Debate rages over whether (and how) matric rage festivals should happen after Ramaphosa’s plea

Shelley Christians

It follows President Cyril Ramaphosa’s appeal during Sunday night’s family meeting, for the matric rage parties “to be avoided or postponed”.“Last year many of our young people attended these matric rages and they were centres of mass infection.” “We take this view informed by the experience of last year’s Ballito festival that became a superspreader. Many matric students who attended ended up being quarantined.”

He also called on schools to encourage both teachers and pupils to vaccinate, so that the danger of infections can be minimised. “Even if they had vaccinations, it’s still a risk to other people and we do not want to engage in any activity that increases our risk.” “We need to do as much as possible to try to prevent superspreader events but at the same time we need to start learning to live with the virus. I really don’t have strong views either way on whether the rage parties should go ahead or not.”
