I am in support of a controlled opening of camp sites in South Africa to save the owners and alleviate homebound pressures caused by lockdown.

Camping in itself automatically allow social distancing in a healthy environment

Johan Fourie (Welkom, 2020-06-28)

The government make senseless decisions. You can go to high exposure facilities, but you are not allowed to manage a 3x3m social distancing camp site

Tertia Rudolph (Springs , 2020-06-28)

I am signing because we need to get out and about in the open. We won’t disrespect the rules

Camping with private ablution is much safer that shopping in overcrowded mall.

It just is not logic to stop camping to prevent spreading of the virus. Camping is allday in the sun, and all for social distancing.

André rademan (Vereeniging, 2020-06-28)

No work no pay, for us and our staff.

#2263

I love camping and cannot understand that social distancing and sanitization cannot take place. I've camped at many caravan parks that have a cleaner cleaning after each person used the ablution facilities...so no danger of transmission

Rosemary Joubert (Greytown, 2020-06-28)

#2264

I feel camping is more safe then going to a shop or work because it is your owne bedding and cutlery you use and social distances is not a problem when you camp

Sherene Meintjes (Alberton, 2020-06-28)

#2276

Hoekom kan mense sit en eet in n resturant maar nie kamp nie ,camp het n groter social distance as n resturandOPEN CAMPING

Michell Ayres (Krugersdorp, 2020-06-28)

#2278

Because we are part of the tourism industry and all our protocols are in place.
There can be arranged for temporary passes for people to go away for a weekend and report back so they can be checked back into their province.
We must be allowed to take in also max of 50 people and make sure social distance is kept.
There are so many options to look at it is about being willing.
Everyone is suffering and we must stand together to get trough this, with that we must be allowed to open.

Maryke Lombard (Parys, 2020-06-28)

Jaco Crafford (Brackenfell , 2020-06-28)

#2295

I believe that camping is not a threat to the spread of covid 19. Sleeping in the caravan self contained. One can have a bathroom unit in the caravan. Safety guidelines can be implemented for ablutions. Please allow caravaning and camping to resume.

Marian Coady (Pinetown, 2020-06-28)

#2299

I love camping and glamping, and this is a very safe accommodation option for stressed out people to have a break from lockdown. And to help those small businesses in our industry to re-start their businesses.

Jackie Bond (Robertson, 2020-06-28)

Makes no sense that I can be in a Makro store where poeple walk and do as they like but I can not be in my own van in the bush away from everyone els

Jacques Losper (Alberton , 2020-06-28)

#2316

Why is camping excluded. Social distancing much greater with camping than anything else.

Johan Smith (Krugersdorp, 2020-06-28)

Rules are ridiculous

Neil Campbell (Durban, 2020-06-28)

I feel about everybody is in malls if you look outside there is also toilets .caravaning is really not in each others space .and i feel strong that we are not in each others space and this can be allowed

#2326

You are allowed to cross provinces via air , for holiday. You are restricted to your own provence to cross via road transportation. How do you justify this stupid rules. Makes no sense what so ever. These rules only apply for the people that can afford it. It's

Pathetic.

Johan Carolus (Boksburg, 2020-06-28)

It is in the open air. Most caravans have their own ablutions and campers can get a porta pottie and out door shower

Camp resorts should be able to survive the present Covid -19 economical conditions and camping and leisure should be aloud.

Christo Fourie (St Helena Bay, 2020-06-29)

#2355

I can social distance at any campsite as my caravan has it's own bathroom/shower/toilet. We have solar/gas and electricity and have ni need to interact with other people. Campsites need income

Sandy Van Heerden (Hartenbos , 2020-06-29)

Everybody has the right to earn a living and when nit receiving any grants that were supposed to be used for everybody, the more so reason to be able to earn a honest living by hard work

James Robb (Pretoria , 2020-06-29)

Campsites can very easily implement social distancing as people bring their own equipment.

Melissa Demaio (Cape Town, 2020-06-29)

#2394

As a tour operator using campsites I need to open my business, not only for myself but also for the owners of campsites. It is a low risk activity as everybody uses their own tent, trailer or caravan, their own food, their own cooking utensils and in some instances also their own washing facilities.

Johan du Plooy (Centurion, 2020-06-29)

#2395

I don't believe camping is much different to being at home. As long as safety measures are followed. The businesses are also struggling and we would like to support them.

Tamsyn Kruger (Johannesburg, 2020-06-29)

#2396

We need to camp. It is essential for emotional wellbeing

Theresa Bezuidenhout (Krugersdorp , 2020-06-29)

#2399

I believe the camping resorts have put measures in place to keep the resorts cleansed, and there is minimum risk with camping distancing.

Gary Gilmore (Roodepoort , 2020-06-29)
