The logic does seem to be failing because there's more risk of catching the virus indoors for obvious reasons.

Maybe government is concerned about shared toilet facilities.

Found out today that my dad's best friend since high school is basically a vegetable from Covid. The wife is travelling up to Pretoria to turn his machine off. Two months ago he was his normal self and hanging out with his family. His eldest son just got married and the new wife is expecting. Insane timing, off the back of so much excitement. Ordinarily I'd wonder if he caught Covid at the wedding, but he was a doctor so it makes little difference. All the doctors seem to be getting it. And struggling badly, here in PE at least.

These governing simpletons can go and get fucked.


It's all good though, was expecting more online schooling this year and arranged for a private tutor for my kids, will just get her to come more often until this new cluster fuck is over again.

And therein lies the problem with our country.

And therein lies the problem with our country.

I agree.

It's completely unacceptable that government puts the well being and education of children in jeopardy all the time by pandering to the whims of unions instead of focusing of preventative measures which would allow teaching to have continued at the appropriate time.

Further attention should have been given to the development of either IT infrastructure to facilitate online learning or moving to televised schooling through the SABC in the least as there used to be 20 years ago.

Funds could have been obtained for any of the above by skipping on bailing out SAA and a loan scheme that very few qualify for or even grants.

We should also ask ourselves how it was completely unthinkable for the government to approach these private institutions to make their online material available to the public for a space of time while we mechanisms to resolve this pandemic are found.

Your point is completely valid in that the problem with our country lies squarely with the ineptitude of government and their continued promotion socialist/populist policies and the destruction of the education systems so that they may create the next generation of uneducated voting fodder in order to serve their own self interest. It is clear that the government is more concerned with remaining in power rather than the upliftment of the general population through the provision of quality education and skills.

The continued delays in return to schooling, marking of papers, opening of tertiary institutions, destruction of trade schools all merely assist government in the creation of a beggar state reliant on government for their basic needs through a crippling grant system.
