In his address this evening, President Ramaphosa spelled out the 5 stage process that South Africa has adopted to exit the current lockdown. We have been on level 5 for 4 weeks and have one more week to go.
On 1st May we will move to level 4 which sees an increase in permitted economic activity under strict guidelines and an increase in the range of items which can be sold by the supermarkets.
Unfortunately this means that while the sale of cigarettes and tobaco products will be allowed, I'll still have to wait until we move to stage 3 before I can buy a bottle of wine. Wonder if they sell Davidoff's - might have to start smoking cigars again.
And as far as flights home are concerned, we'll be waiting until we reach stage 1.
On a day when his government's response to the pandemic had received praise from the WHO, Cyril's address was clear and concise and truly in the manner of the statesman that he appears to be.
Unfortunately his attempt to finish off by donning a facemask as an example to his fellow South Africans did not go well and appeared as a meme on Facebook and Youtube within a minute or so of the end of his speech.

Promising for sure. Unfortunately we are still in locked down but the good thing the Liqour and Beer Stores here in Canada are considered essential services. LOL
