State of Disaster - South Africa, 15 March 2022 (The Ides of March- Apologies to Shakespeare)

 There is, in my opinion, no reason whatsoever to extend the State of Disaster. My understanding is based on the Act which states as follows:

1) Section 27(1) of the Act, hereby declare a national state of disaster having recognised

that special circumstances exist to warrant the declaration of a national state of

disaster; and

2) Section 27(2) of the Act may, when required, make regulations or issue directions or

authorise the issue of directions concerning the matters listed therein, only to the extent

that it is necessary for the purpose of -

(a) assisting and protecting the public;

(b) providing relief to the public;

(c) protecting property;

(d) preventing or combatting disruption; or

(e) dealing with the destructive and other effects of the disaster.

Do we really believe that either of the above points are valid? If they are then THEY ARE NOT DUE TO COVID, BUT EXIST BECAUSE OF THE INABILITY OF OUR OWN GOVERNMENT TO EFFICIENTLY RULE! And please do not tell me that the looting/destruction of property/Eskom incapacity/Water leakages & lack of preparation for the future in terms of water (and electrical supply)/corruption... need I expand further?... can all be attributed to the pandemic! If we do continue with the State of Disaster it will be purely because of the vast numbers of masks and vials of vaccine that have been purchased and need to be sold/used! And if we are told to have a fourth/fifth booster (any type of course) it will be "for the greater good"- seriously???
