I'm a contractor and havent worked since before lock down was started

(Glen Marais Kempton Park, 2020-05-23)

#14

I no longer agree with the lockdown and the ridiculous laws that are passed for managing lockdown. We are not children, we are tax paying citizens and no one will stop us from exercising our economic ability #lockdownmustfall

#17

Give us back the “freedom” we entitled to.

(Germiston, 2020-05-23)

#20

The damage now been done to our economy far outweighs the risk of the virus. We have given the government 8 weeks to prepare the health system so it’s time we got people back to work.

The lockdown has served its purpose, it has to stop now so that we can be a democratic country again.

(Edleen, 2020-05-23)

The devastating effect of the lockdown far out weigh the effect of the Covid-19 virus.

(Boksburg, 2020-05-23)

#35

Our human rights have been taken away .
Many have lost their jobs due to the continued extensions

(Kempton Park, 2020-05-23)

#36

I am an adult and I am more than capable of making responsible and informed decisions for myself. More people died of other causes than Covid-19. This is a total overreaction and an infringement of my rights. The regulations are inconsistent, irrassional and not wel thought through. It is causing more harm than good.

(Kempton Park, 2020-05-23)

#40

I as individual can understand how this affects each and everyone of us. Small businesses needs to reopen in order to maintain an income and survival

(Boksburg, 2020-05-23)

#44

This lockdown is destroying the economy of this country. As a deeply concerned South African I implore government to end this madness. We are not children, give us the guidelines and we will look after ourselves.

(Kempton Park, 2020-05-23)

I am think it is time to stop lockdown.

(Johannesburg, 2020-05-23)

The lockdown has served its purpose and is now totally redundant.

(Johannesburg, 2020-05-23)

This lockdown will lead to more deaths from starvation than from decease.

(Edleen, 2020-05-23)

To end the national lockdown so that the economy of South Africa can go back to the way it was before the covid-19.

(Kempton park, 2020-05-23)

#51

So many businesses have to closed.
People lost their jobs. They don't food and struggle to make ends meet.

(Kemptonpark, 2020-05-23)

#52

If we do not end lockdown now our country will collapse. It seems like our goverment is power drunk. Making unreasonable rules like we are school children. The police is out of line etc etc

(Gauteng, 2020-05-23)

#53

The country is heading for the biggest unemployment figures ever, even percentage wise. Time to open all businesses.

(Boksburg, 2020-05-23)

#54

I believe a further lock down of any kind will do more harm than good

(Pretoria, 2020-05-23)

#55

My rights have been infringed and the regulations don’t make sense

(Johannesburg, 2020-05-23)

#56

No one can stop this virus... We can do our absolute level best to guard ourselves and our fellow South Africans..
But if we dont go back to normality and save jobs companies and families we will all be dependable on the Government.

(Milnerton, 2020-05-23)

#57

The damage done by the lockdown can not be justified by any lives apparently saved by the lockdown.

(Benoni, 2020-05-23)

#62

Our government is using the excuse of a less serious virus blown out of proportion by world-wide media for their own personal hidden agenda and it's clear they are busy trying to enforce their communist goals against people's will. I will not tolerate it.

(Boksburg, 2020-05-23)

#64

We have lost far to many jobs! I'm a burden on my family now at 38 years old. Enough now!

(Kempton Park, 2020-05-23)

#65

I'm signing because I am fed up with the socialism and communist way this joke of a government is treating me and my hardworking family that has contributed so much to the country, or should I say the government coffers. I can make my own decisions!

(Kempton Park Gauteng, 2020-05-23)

#67

I an concerned that more people will die from starvation than infection.

(Kempton Park, 2020-05-23)

#70

I think the lockdown is a waist of time

(Benoni, 2020-05-23)

#71

I can’t handle this lockdown anymore

(Kempton park, 2020-05-23)

#73

Enough is now enough

(Kempton Park, 2020-05-23)

#74

We need to work, we are not getting money like certain people

(Pretoria, 2020-05-23)

#75

I need to work so that my family can survive.

(Durban, 2020-05-23)

I am signing this petition because I feel this pandemic is a load of bull which is effecting the whole world economy negatively.

(Kempton park, 2020-05-23)

#83

NCCC are treating everyone in the country as if we are their kids. They are not interested in the people. They want to feel as if they have the power. People need to put food on the table. No more lockdown.

(Kempton Park, 2020-05-23)

#84

I need life to go on for our small business.

(Kempton Park, 2020-05-23)

#85

The government has failed on handling this, what we are seeing now is abusing of power, we are not animals, why must we be treated like this. Let it end now before it's too late

(Kempton park, 2020-05-23)

#86

We need to get our lives back to normal

(Pretoria, 2020-05-23)

#88

Please! This is insanity! We cannot stop people from dying. We don’t all have to die with them. People who run businesses are responsible. Let us get the country strong. Please!!

(Johannesburg, 2020-05-23)

I feel this lockdown has become a political struggle within the ANC and not for the benefit of the nation. S.A. citizens have been hanging on to their jobs by their teeth for years now it has all been whipped away by poor planning and managing by some egocentric cabinet members.

(Kempton Park, 2020-05-23)

#98

The Lockdown has served its purpose; Govt has had sufficient time to prepare for the worst. This won't go away. Ever.

(KemptonPark, 2020-05-23)

The economy is suffering. People are suffering all this for a small percentage of infected people. Herd immunization will work.

(Kempton Park, 2020-05-24)

#107

The lockdown is having NO effect on the virus spreading. People in certain areas are carring on as usual. It is having a major negative effect on the economy. The fact that the government is unable to contain the spreading of the virus, by telling us the public what we can/cannot eat and wear is pretty staggering. If they think that the banning of cigarettes and alcohol is effectively preventing people from smoking and sharing, they have been living under a rock!! The lockdown in my opinion has been a total failure!!

(Gauteng, 2020-05-24)

#110

Unconstitutional and creating more havoc than the actual virus.

(Gauteng, 2020-05-24)

(Kempton park, 2020-05-24)

#116

Because Lockdown has served its initial purpose.
We must get back to work before our economy is totally eroded.
People are starving.
End it now.

I don't believe the lockdown is for the correct reasons

(Kempton Park, 2020-05-24)

(Kempton Park, 2020-05-24)

#154

I am 76years and have been smoking for 60 years. In early March we went on lockdown and cigarettes and alcohol were taken away. We have to smoke illegal cigarettes at extortionate prices and all I need is my only bit of pleasure back my cigarettes. Sure to this pandemic I cannot go out or travel so please give me back my cigarettes. This is a democratic country with free speech we are not children please don't treat us like them. Thank you

(Gauteng, 2020-05-24)

#187

Tens of thousands of South Africans are not able to cope with ongoing financial deprivation and loss of income. When this lockdown ends, we need to demand that national government demonstrate the same commitment to ending gang violence and convicting the perpetrators as we have seen with their commitment to stopping the sale of cigarettes and alcohol.
