The police and the army have been moving through different sections of the Alexandra Township, north of Johannesburg, urging residents to stay in their homes.

During Johannesburg Mayor Geoff Makhubo’s walkabout in Setshwetla on Friday afternoon, community members complained of their poor hygiene conditions which include communal toilets and the lack of sanitizers.

Makhubo says while he appreciates their poor living conditions, it’s in everyone’s interest that they also stay indoors. “As we leave, we’re going to leave it to the police and the army to now restore law and order here. I mean I can see they got into their houses and they’re back out again. So, we have to keep on reminding them that they must stay in their homes.”

“That’s why we asked the SANDF to say look, let’s get in. We’ve been with them. We’ve been with the Metro. There’s provincial police, there’s SAPS. So, everyone is here. They’re going to enforce now.” South Africa earlier confirmed its first two fatalities from the virus – two women in the Western Cape.This entry was posted on 27 Mar 2020,08:03PM at 8:03 PM and is filed under

So what was the outcome?

Where on earth do you expect person staying 1m close to main road to stay indoors in single room with no electricity people of informal settlement have nothing to loose they're already suffered prejudice, people living comfortable won't understand this language

All these ppl in jhb town are crazy to get themselves arrested coz they want to refuse to stay at home and disobey the government what he says abt the 21 days lockdown😕

CoronaLockdown Warning

One reckless township this shows that they are 100% not SA citizens most are foreigners who doesn't care about anything theirs is life as usual

We are surely in trouble with our ignorance which will destroy our lives

Why they have to be begged? They're risking other people's lives!

The most vulnerable people do not listen haaibo! Alexander le ya swabisa maan🙆‍♂️

This is one place that an army more than any other. People are so ignorant. Mxxm why mara.

It is just a pity bcos when death start visiting them like in Italy they will b complaining about lack of medical care.

We warned them not to test the might of law But they choose to be defiant so they hear by the skin

Govt shuts off the only little they survive on and tells em to go sit in their shacks with their kids with no food 🍲 for 21 days. Govt tells them if they got money to go give it to bigger retailers. Govt further impoverishes em. Govt makes big retailers benefit from this chaos

please show us the demonstration of washing hands for 20 sec for those who dnt have running water,those who store water in containers.

They are not serious about the situation in SA.
