Am I Being Too Sensitive?

By

When I read the following in the Government Notice No. 480 of 2020:

The Cabinet member responsible for cooperative governance and traditional affairs shall. upon the recommendation of the Cabinet member responsible for health and in consultation with Cabinet, declare which of the following alert levels apply. and the extent to which they apply at a national, provincial, metropolitan or district level:

(a) ‘Alert Level 1’ as determined by Cabinet;
(b) ‘Alert Level 2’ as determined by Cabinet;
(c) ‘Alert Level 3’ as determined by Cabinet;
(d) ‘Alert Level 4’ as determined by Cabinet; and
(e) ‘Alert Level 5’ as determined by Cabinet.

(3) The Cabinet member responsible for health shall issue directions on the criteria that will guide the determination of alert levels;

(4) The detail of permissions and prohibitions for each Alert Level will be set out in the different Alert levels.

Pertinent question/s need to be asked; “How will Cabinet determine the will of their constituents? How will Cabinet determine the will of the South African Citizens? How will Cabinet determine the will of the people who pay their salaries?”

Passionate about Port Elizabeth and definitely NOT packing for Perth. Alan's ethos is epitomised in the words of Nelson Mandela; "I have fought against white domination and I have fought against black domination. I have cherished the idea of a democratic and free society. If need be, it is an ideal for which I am prepared to die." See more articles by Alan.
