Government extending lockdown i think
ReplyDeleteHe’s Protecting us even though kunzima ukuhlala endlin but he’s protecting us
Yah staying at home is very difficult but since there is no solution,we should
DeleteWe are being protected from the Virus, people should stay at home to prevent the spread of the covid19, save your loved ones StayAtHome
ReplyDeleteYeah this is the only way since there is no Vaccine
DeleteI think the presidents decision to extend the lockdown was good even though the cases are increasing but without the lockdown it could have been worse 👏👏👏💯but SA police keep on disappointing us 😔
ReplyDeletePeople are also provoking them though
DeleteYeah that is the only way since there is no Vaccine
ReplyDeleteGood move by the Statesman🇿🇦
ReplyDeleteBut police brutality should stop 🖑
It should yes but the people should also stop provoking the police.
ReplyDeleteAs much as it it's a hard pill to swallow, the government actually did all he did in the name of protecting us which is really a good thing
ReplyDeleteAnd we must obey the rules
DeleteThis is becoming harder and harder ,I never imagine such in my life
ReplyDeleteMe too hey,but let's hope there won't be any extension again
DeleteMr president did a good job..he's tryna protect us nom kunzima
ReplyDeleteBecause there is nothing the government has to do,this is the only option
DeleteI hope there will be no more extension, it so hard to be indoors 😪😪
ReplyDeleteIt's really bad for everyone especially for us a student because we need to do some school work.
DeleteThis is just the beginning. I swear if this lockdown doesnt cone to an end anytime soon mmmmm
ReplyDeleteYah I thought so too...this is just a beginning,things are going to be worst as ever but we need to pray for our country.
DeletePolice brutality should stop too
ReplyDeleteBut if the people are obeying the rules and stay at home,we wouldn't be having this kind of problems
DeleteIt a good decision for President to extend the lockdown, but he should also address the case of police and solderes to stop taking this opportunity to brutally hurts people it really sad
ReplyDeleteIt wrong for them to be brutal but the people are also provoking them in some how
DeleteI think the 2 weeks extension of lock is about saving our lives so people should stop being dramatic and obey the rules, it for their own benefits
ReplyDeleteThey do not take this virus serious even though people have died to show that this pandemic is bad
ReplyDeleteThe extension of lockdown with 2weeks isn't enough when our fellow south Africa do not even know what is happening, they see this as the means of being stopped to their lives......no one in his senses would stop the country from functioning if this wasn't serious, as much as job are at stake but live does not have spare wheel
ReplyDeleteYou know how South Africans are...we don't take everything serious until it touches our very close or love ones...stay safe
DeleteI don't take this virus serious guys!!!✋✋ We have not even seen a sick person in the hospital on tv 😷😷 kudlalwa ngathi Lana!!
ReplyDeleteSo what about those who are dying?....
DeleteLomdlalo we corona usuyangibhora fut nje manje😐😐
ReplyDelete😂😂😂😂😂 sihleka noma kufiwe,yaz Wena😂😂😂
DeletePersonally I think the president did good by extending the lockdown but the disadvantages of all of this is our economy it will take time to be normal again.My heart again goes to those small business ,Self employed who cant earn a living.
ReplyDeleteMost banks said they will help I'm speaking on behalf of the bank I'm using so they said they will give me relief cash holiday only to find that Im suppose to take a loan that will result me into more debt.Most people will fall for this and with this economy it will be the death of us.
For us to beat this we need to stay home and obey everything the government says we cant be like Italy
I am looking forward at what will our government will do with this whole situation especially the economy issue
DeleteSuch a tragedy that is and hopefully will deal with such actions accordingly and do well by the deceased family members
ReplyDeleteHope so too.
ReplyDeleteHey Zama, I've been going through your blog and I would just like to compliment your work. Secondly, I'd like to share my view based on this Corona Virus pandemic, as much as our president Cyril did well on the extension of the lockdown, because honestly he had no choice, however going back I still believe that should he had took action in an early stage, we wouldn't be facing this tragedy we are currently going through as a country
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with you,what he did was very wrong,and now the whole South Africa is in a very bad situation.😥
DeleteFor the complements,thank you
I think the government will add another days since there's no cure and I will not blame
ReplyDeleteI also don't see us going back to the Varsity anytime soon,with this online learning 😥😥
DeleteThe president is doing an exceptional job to by extending the days because this seems to be the only way to try and solve this issue of the virus
ReplyDeleteI wish they could find a vaccine soon
DeleteEnough of this Corona now we tired
ReplyDeleteI don't think it is wise what you saying at the moment,this pandemic is serious and it is killing people.
DeleteOur president has done a great job by extending Lockdown, this will reduce the spread of COVID19
ReplyDeleteOf which it wasn't an easy job to do
DeleteWe cannot blame the President,He is trying to save the Nation.
ReplyDeleteYou can say that again,he is trying.
DeleteUkube wasukuma from ekuqaleni ubaba Ramaphosa ngabe mhlampe akunje
ReplyDeleteTrue if the government cloud have acted at an early stage
DeleteI think he did the best thing ever....impilo iyodwa guys
ReplyDeleteIt better to be hungry today and live tomorrow
DeleteThis extension of the lockdown has its negative impact but if we look on the bright side the president is trying to help us not to contract the virus
ReplyDeleteYes but the government is working on that negative impact because there will be food parcels for those who are no longer going to work,those individuals those are self-employed even though they may not be enough.
DeleteEven if the lockdown can take 3 months, it is ok. There is no need to end the lockdown while there is no cure. The lockdown is saving lives.
ReplyDeleteThank you for keeping us as Nation well informed and most of your articles covered all aspects fromeconomy, education ,social issues mostly importantly wellbeing of our vanable community's, keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteI understand that this lockdown is draining us a lot, but on other side the president is trying by all means to save South African lives. Because if the lockdown end while this invincible enemy is still around the death rate will increase like nobody's business.
