Indeed. But only from the 26th March. As the post at the bottom of page 2 states, there was still ample time.calcotti said:The lockdown in SA is much stricter than here and, I think, being patrolled by the military1 -
And, unlike our government, Ramaphosa gave advance warning so that it didn't start until after payday so people could go and stock up on supplies. Apparently the gun stores were doing a roaring trade in ammunition.bradders1983 said:

Another one judging without knowing the whole story. I was due to fly out on 1st April but was rushed into the hospital with a suspected burst appendix. I have been very sick and the worry on top of everything else does not make for much patience when being attacked by people like you. Yes I am a carer and a very good one. But everyone has their limits,especially when being confronted by judgemental people.0

No, tell people everything at the start and none of this would have happened.
Enjoy your time in South Africa. Maybe the cast of Spitting Image were onto something and the locals have rubbed off on you.1 -
You seem to think you are so wise and funny. You are not, you need help. Good luck.0
