Outrage as residents defy national lockdown

Many residents on Saturday again took to the shops to try and get food and other essentials.

“As long as my neighbours are not putting the measures into place for us to safeguard each other from coronavirus. I will still be exposed since my neighbourhood is full of people who are not even adhering to staying at home because people seem not to care at all about this. I really feel scared and I fear for my life.”More than 20 people have been arrested in Mpumalanga for alleged non-compliance with the lockdown regulations.

While many have been calling for the Security Cluster to be strict on those flouting the rules of the lockdown, some citizens say they have no option but to leave their homes to feed their families.

Let's educate and make this lockdown work change the rules celemustfall

This people should be arrested

Honestly speaking, the sandf should just use teargas on these people.😑

Do you know the reasons why?

One of the many challenges that SA faces

But they do not have enough space in their houses

It was always going to be a challenge in kasis like Alex whereby you find ten people staying in a four roomed house,those people are not used to stay indoors.

It's gonna be hard to lockdown a country that is flooded by foreigners especially in those kind of Townships........

SANDF must visit the place.

People are gambling with their lives, I'm soo concerned

It's easy to stay indoors when u live in a big house with 4 to 5 bedrooms and dstv premium with a packed fridge and aircon. Try doing it in a 1room shack 🙄🙄🙄

When pple get sick then they want 2 blame the gov but we cant obey rules and regulations that are for our own safety 😷😡

If you have ever been to Alexandra, you could see this one coming.

VWSFire People should stop breeding. Stop having babies you can't afford. Coming here to complain about the government that they are not helping you. The government did not force you to have multiple kids!!

Let's commend Pres. CyrilRamaphosa for having the interest of our nation at heart... When faced with a epidemic there is no planning there is action to save lives.. We never experienced a thing like this and kudos to him and all who are abiding to the rules and enforcers

Italy omnibus, Alexander will be in a red zone!

Where must they stay? I understand the importance of lockdown but provision must be made for people. How is it humane or possible to expect people to stay indoors under current conditions? Why not make use of shopping centre parking garages as temporary shelters?

its amazing how people find excuses for there own stupidity I lived in my car for 2yrs with wife and 3 kids ,but i decided no one will help or give me FREE stuff so i pulled my finger out of my ass ,stopped blaming others for my situation. and did something with my life.

This must be a ploy by these people, to receive attention so they can be compensated by Government ... As they do have common sense as humans , but refuse to act on it..instead opt to behave uncivilized and be susceptible to receiving and spreading the deadly pandemic currently

is it not time to shut down the entertainment on SABC TV channels and educate the people about Covid-19?

FatalMoves A lot of residents do not care and think the whole thing is a big joke.

RAMAPHOSA'S BOYS must beat us... we were taught at an early age that ' ya sotho motho o utlwa ka letlalo'..

Wait until ' residents' realise that they are not immune to this virus, or is there a underlying factor to their roaming about. Residents think the goverment will pay their wages for months and months, 'ON PAID HOLIDAY' is what most think sadly.

Five individuals 1 room shack? Time for SA to rethink its strategies. It’s one massive death trap. How do you quarantine people living like this? The comfortable will say yes they must stay inside.

Statistics show that the Lock down in Africa cannot work properly because of the conditions of life, most people are living on daily basis. Not only in South Africa, but in most countries of the continent. This should serve as a lesson to our leaders who think only of themselves.

Why dont you arrest these people,where is SAPS. You say something on tv Minister but act the opposite. Any person who defies the lockdown was supposed to have been locked in the cells long time ago.

corruption will never end in this country

I can't believe people can be so stupid

These residents are Anc voters. Ramaphosa must attend to his obeyfull residents

Reference..look at what the Republic of Rwanda has done to ensure that the people stay indoors. Rwanda🇷🇼 the Heart of Africa✨❣️

This boils down to negligence. That's how it started and people will suffer for others negative approach.

This lockdown is for rich people.Those billionaires who claim to donate billions, they must donate houses and food for black people. Black people are suffering.Some of them 5 to 10 live in a 1 room, do you call that lockdown?

but hw do u remain locked up in shacks for such a long time cos once u step outside ur door u already in the streets

70% of South Africans are adhering.hope with time ppl will do the right thing

They just do not have comfortable homes to stay in, that is all.

I see you people running the headline that people defy lockdown. What you see is as the results of unequality. WHY employers paid people last day to lockdown, WHY is the government paying social grants in the middle of LOCKDOWN.

Italy v2.0 loading 🔜

Show the whites that are dog walking and jogging too

Do the right thing... That's it!

The top down Command center approach is not working. The government must engage these communities & involve municipalities in finding solutions. Otherwise we are heading for trouble.

Ignorence will kill them

This is Alexandra for you if the test was free and compulsory mmmmm I'm telling you we will all die this people don't want to stay at home 😥even kids playing outside

Lock down yamasimba

Zimbo uniformed forces know how to save lives

You cannot ask people living in such tiny homes to all stay inside. It’s inhumane and not practical. Predictions are 60-70% of all S Africans will get the virus at some point. Well this lockdown will surely result in a massive amount of people getting it in one go.

Batho ba batla ho utlwa ka letlalo ka bona

Well how the fck does anyone expect people living in shacks and tiny dwellings like this to “stay at home”? This whole lockdown story is not going to work. It’s 3am and I’m wide awake. Worrying about my colleagues in the townships.

Why does MYANC lock down ppl in the shacks and townships with no food 🍲 for their kids? How'll that work? 🤔 😳

This is sad🤦🏿‍♂️ Ain't SADF around to contain the situation

We are listening, those ones will suffer consequences of not listening.
