Juliana Reitsma: "It would be terrible. More people will die from hunger than from Covid-19 if the government is going to move South Africa back to the hard lockdown."
The EFF has called for a return to a harder lockdown as South Africa is set for an increase in the number of Covid-19 infections. The Advertiser asked a few locals if they think the country should reverse some of its restrictions.
Tersa Verse: “South Africa will definitely not survive another hard lockdown. They should rather close schools to curb the spread of the virus.”
Brendaline Scheepers: “The government should rather just close schools again. Another lockdown for three months will kill our economy and more people are going to lose their jobs.”
Juliana Reitsma: “It would be terrible. More people will die from hunger than from Covid-19 if the government is going to move South Africa back to the hard lockdown.”
Sipho GUenha: “It would definitely be a good thing if the government can put South Africa back under Level 5 lockdown. Many people are dying because of the virus.”
