That camera guy is zooming straight into the future!

[thembisibanyoni]

Peaple who're selling food must be allowed to sell, it's the same as Shoprite an KFC. poor police they act when they see camera

All police officers are wearing their Surgical Face Masks wrong, blue colour side should be out side, and white colour side should be inside.

Secondly, the top of the mask should have a metal strip (which should bend around one‘s nose ridge), not other way around.

I hope the police can out survive the general public after this pandemic, but the way they are protecting themselves, the chances are very slim.

We only have our self's to blame for what is coming .
This is wrong on so many levels.

In a week or so: People die as usual in uMsinga today....

[laviyahf]

A suggestion for checkers, pnp or spar. What about organising a grocery bus that goes from street to street only allowing those in that street to buy. Then move on.... Bus accompanied by tight security??? Loud speaker ontop of bus??? Government can do this??

[mahlehhleh]

Those people selling Vegetables are really starving 😢 they need money to buy food 🥘 no one would want to go catch the virus 🦠 on purpose and the quarantine was announced in short time people were not prepared

[dickdodger]

People still have to eat & this is a very sad part of this Virus because it is so contagious social distancing is important,
That doesn't stop the fact that food is vital for all our survival,
It would make more sense to let these people trade while having the police ensure distances are kept,
Keep Healthy people & stay safe, From the UK,

[jamzalife]

im a fellow south african living in the UK, very sad to say anyone ignoring the lockdown and self distancing will get the message when the virus hits home ehhe uyavutha umlilo iyehe!

[neeltjebooysen]

And because of this we will be lock down for three months.

[Motherofkittycats]

I understand that they need to make a living, but I am also not earning any salary at the moment, but adhering to laws now will ensure that I will be back at work sooner. But if everyone disobeyed the presidents instructions we'd all be infected and there will be no one working at all.

[truth-Hurts]

If anybody think 21 days is going to cut the cake....please stop thinking because you are doing the wrong thing.

[rammabujackie]

Some people they getting food from those business that they are doing so if they stay home who gonna feed them🙆‍♂️😢

[scelochonco]

They are selling food which is essential goods, what is wrong with that. Anyway they are now allowed to sell their fruit, vegetables and any food as announced by Nkosazana Dlamini Zuma and the team. Shoprite, Pick n Pay etc are selling also selling the same products

[kingmufasa]

Black privilege!!! I am also going back to work tomorrow.

[tyrone]

Unfair we staying at home and other people are still out really really unfair. We are also struggling but seems like rules only apply to certain people.

[bernaddebenbernaddeben]

education is a problem, this is out of order

[kristaaraes]

[vitraveladdicts]

You called the police hoping for a bit of action in your news report.

[sthabilemzobe]
