Thank you for commenting. You are right, we are lucky in South Africa, we did not had any lockdown with the last wave of the Omicron variant. Just still mask wearing mandates, restricted number of people at gatherings.
People are tired of everything and yes the world is wakening up. Blessings

do you think this is because your government wisened up or was it because the people were not going to tolerate it anymore? I recall when SA had some really hardcore lockdowns and made traveling from place to place illegal and even banned alcohol and strangely, cigarettes as well.
I think government has wisened up a bit and realised that they can't keep on destroying our economy. We have a 34% unemployment rate.
Big companies started to take government to court for lockdowns destroying their business especially alcohol companies.
The supposed logic after the cigarette ban was that in poorer areas people share cigarettes.
Currently fights in court over companies bringing in vaccine mandates. Unions are winning as our constitution allow for freedom of choice.
