As a tax payer and voter I feel things like smoking should not be decided for me by public servants (think they have forgotten that part). I feel this has become a political sparing round of cheap political tactics. Damn we ate Adults who understand the need of measuresTim Edmondson (Kempton Park, 2020-05-24)

I am deeply concerned about the prospect of between 3 - 7 million people losing their jobs, as estimated by National Treasury. I call on Government to lift the lockdown and allow small and medium businesses to operate, while implementing safety measures.William Pienaar (Durbanville, 2020-05-24)

I’m signing because I feel that the basic science is not being used by certain Ministers to justify the terms of the lockdown. NDZ in particular talks about smoking and smokers being a cause for the more serious cases of CV19. What she omits is that the damage is already done and with holding cigarettes has created a criminal society out of nowhere.I am not a smoker. However, I hate it when people who are trusted with the good of a nation abuses that trust.
She is simply stupid as are several other ministers and I really dislike stupid people who don’t realise they are!

I’m singing because, we have the hardest lockdown in the world. Our President was correct. Yet N Dlamini Zuma is continuing to kill economy by her stupid laws she’s pushing through.It’s a personal choice from residents how they want to care for the health. She is now infringing on basic human rights.
She is also lashing out as she herself is using her power under appartite era. She needs removed as she is not working Under the Constution or human rights laws

Many more people will be losing their livelihood and ways of supporting their families, than will be dying of the virus. The projected figures worldwide have proven false and there has been enough time to flatten the curve. People need to be given their rights back and families need to see each other. We have seen first hand some of the challenges many have gone through and tried to help where possible. This month my husband who is working from home may not receive a salary like many others through no fault of his own. People need to be treated and respected as adults and responsible citizens and allowed to choose what they believe would be wise choices. Some of the current laws are unjust and violate our rights in our constitution.Ruth Grobler (Kempton Park, 2020-05-24)

This prolonged lockdown has no sense and are detrimental to every business and individual. The president and some ministers have another agenda than the wellfare of the Country and it's people.Sunet Bezuidenhout (Kempton Park, 2020-05-24)

I understand Covid 19 and the risks but a country cannot stay under lockdown indefinitely bankruptcy is looming. It's becoming dangerous as people have no income and are now reverting to crime. To keep tabacco and alcohol banned how many millions will be losing their jobs think people please!!!!!Jane Linde (Alberton, 2020-05-24)

This lockdown has one major achievement to boast of.The destruction of the economy in under 60 days
The damage done here will effect and take thousands more lives than any virus
But then it seems that the government is now drunk on the power of enforcing things like curfews.
This is dangerous territory and we need to revolt against it and stop it before we cannot any longer do so
The ANC government is nothing more than a communist dictatorship and needs to be seen for what it is

Siek vir die lockdown want dit werk net vir ons en die swartes kan doen wat hul wil. gaan aan of niks hul pla nie. Die wittes se kospakkies word weg gevat want die wittes mag nie kos kry volgens die polisie nie. Ons president laat hom voor se deur Dlamini Zuma. Hul straf die land se rokers,maar die polisie vat en dan nog vat hul geld van winkeleienaars. Die hele lot van hul is korupt en ons ly dar onder.Hulle moet nou die lockdown lift moeg vir ditCecilia Smuts (Boksburg, 2020-05-24)

RSA has effectively suffered a bloodless coup. We are now under socialist and communist dogma rule. The NCCC does NOT answer to parliament, nor does it uphold the Constitution and issue 'kaws and regulations' arbitrarily and use the securucrats to enforce their warped ideologies.Johan Vermeulen (Bronkhorstspruit, 2020-05-24)

The lockdown must come to an end NOW! People are starving. No work means no pay therefore no food! A starving person is much more likely to get sick than a healthy person. The economy is in tatters and unless business is able to restart now South Africa will never recover.Rose Steyn (Hout Bay, 2020-05-24)
#316
New info has come to the fore showing that the virus is not as deadly has earlier thought.There is no scientific basis for this lock down.
The enforcers of this lockdown has lost all context and reality with what they are doing.

People are released from prison and we are in lockdown like criminals. Each person is responsible keeping themselves and families healthy according to social distancing, sanatizing and masks. Financially all families are suffering with no support from the state. We need to get back to our jobs and open companies to earn salaries. Lift the ban on sigarettes and other products which is causing law abiding citizens to buy illegal sigarettes.Ester Duplessis (Kemptonpark, 2020-05-24)

Look at the figures of this so called epidemic! look at the figure of Cancer, Flue, TB, Aids. etc etc Wake up..Listen to what Educated Medical Practitioners, Scientists etc are saying ...look at the catastrophe this lockdown has caused. .look at what the People who are meant to PROTECT THEIR people have done ..Look at how in some parts of SA people carry on as though there is nothing going on and where is the Epidemic there?i. We want to Get back to Normal . We do not have high powered income coming in monthly.

people must return to work, lift the lockdown. People are starving to death due to not working, loosing their jobs and having no income. Companies are closing down due to not making any revenue & causing job losses. Our economy is shuttered due to this lockdown, with proper Safety measures in place our country must loose the lockdown & be functional to safe the people & the country.Anuska Engelbracht (Kempton park, 2020-05-24)

I'm signing because my sons are self employed, one from choice, and one because he had to take a severance package to make space for a Affirmative Action person. My younger son, who owns the business, has just been admitted to hospital with renal failure, and is in ICU until further notice. His stress level is way out of control and this lockdown nonsense hasn't helped at all!!!!Jane Gage (Newcastle, 2020-05-24)

#368
The emotional turmoil is outpacing the effects of covidThe destruction of the economy will never be justified by any death toll
The citizens of this country are protected by a constitution that guarantees a right to work, freedom of movement and association etc which is now being denied
The citizens are being treated like children by power hungry "leaders" flexing their political muscle
The very people charged with serving and protecting the citizens are abusing their power and bullying, intimidating and even killing citizens
This virus, like all others, will run its course regardless of what we do. Education and sensible, individual precautions are sufficient

This lockdown is not based on medical evidence, but on a determination by government to curtail civil liberties. The Holocaust didn’t start with the gas chambers. It started with stamping out freedoms and curtailing civil liberties. We need to protect our Constitutional Democracy at all costsMadeleine Hicklin (Johannesburg, 2020-05-25)
