These are supposedly coming out in NZ next month. The government has signalled you will need one to attend festivals and large event in the Summer but who knows if that is going to happen.

Yup got mine too, was quick and easy. apart from me trying to figure out the handwriting on the card for the vaccination code. That person have the handwriting of a doctor
I am very tempted to get a ticket for the bafana game if it is open, even though i find SA soccer games in general a but unbearable to watch related to playing style and skill.
But it would be so damn good to be in a sports crowd again.
I'm most looking forward to the cricket at the wanderers sitting on the bank under the Oaks. Right in front of the beer stand.
"The Oaks"? "Wanderers"?
Are you sure you have the correct ground?
If I'm up in Josburg when the Indians are there, we can maybe rustle up Saucy and make a day of it.
[Edit- just seen your response to Sauce' post - no worries]

I guess with only 2 000 tickets up for grabs for every game, it's going to be a nightmare to get tickets?

Vaccination rate is depressing.
An interesting site.
19,348,079 vaccine doses administered for COVID-19 in South Africa, currently at rate of about 1.33/second or 115,022 each day. That is about 32.2 doses per hundred people (~60.04 million). At this rate, South Africa could have 70% of people vaccinated (2 doses) in 563 days (or by Apr 29, 2023).

The only way we're going to fix that is if we start mandating vaccines.

Pretty sure those that havent vaccinated by 2023 will sing underground by that time.

That is the news we want to hear! It is crucial to get the 12 - 17 group vaxxed ASAP, they are huge spreaders

Start of the fourth wave?
SA records 2 465 new Covid-19 cases and 114 deaths

Meanwhile we are delaying vaccine deliveries due to lack of demand but only 35% of adults are vaccinated

Out of a management team of 5, only 2 of us are vaccinated.
It seems that the others are to scared to have the vaccine or believe that there is something in it that is bad for them according to their religious leaders.

Of course they'll try.
Whether they'll be successful is another matter with an over religious population refusing to take vaccination and eschewing precautions in favour of religious gatherings is another matter.

This new variant has most likely been in the wild for some time now. There's a good chance its already in Europe and the USA. Still loads of international flights leaving Joburg and Cape Town many of them to Doha and Dubai. Those hubs will distribute it around the world.
The South African government doesn't have the means or the will to contain anything at this point. We're in economic damage control mode.

You are seriously naive if you think the variant has not already been spread across Europe and the UK already. No need to put us on a red list, the world will have to deal with this variant together

It’s illegal to go outside your home or workplace without a mask. R1000 on the spot fine. Not many other countries are doing that.

My mate got one in Fish Hoek on Monday. Walked 6ft from his shop entrance to the bin on a lamppost to chuck away his empty coffee cup. Busted.
Went to magistrates who reluctantly reduced it to R500 yesterday
