The point of our lockdown was to give the state time to ready health services, the point of lockdowns elsewhere is to reduce the infection rate at the peak.
So with that in mind, we can expect to go back to lockdown.

What is irritating me, is that government has their models they are allegedly working off.
They can say we expecting x amount of cases by 1st of July, if we are below that rate we will be L2, if above it we will stay L3, if way above, L4.
Their secrecy tells me they know we need to lockdown again, but don't want to give people time to fight it before we get to that stage.

But you need a permit. Where do you get that? I never buy a fishing license as I fish on private grounds only.
Can you take your children along, or may you only have children in the car to take to school or to a doctor?

Don't worry yourself with a fishing permit or license, in all my years I've never owned one for freshwater or inland fishing. At the coast it's a different story, you get those at the post office.

Thank goodness, now the economy can recover. Obviously masks and social distancing should remain.

I am just scared of a possible roadblock on the way, with a car full of fishing gear.

Ruling suspended for 14 days. Don't get too excited yet.

@KK, Because if they decide to ignore it and or fail to appeal it then that should officially brand the ANC as rogue?

I understand that although two seperate things, politics and law do overlap.

They will drag it out and leave it in limbo.

Sooooo... Can we take the government to court for loss of income and all the wrongful arrests? Even better would be if we can take individuals to court and make examples of them?
