GMM identified the Kinross Lapa as a shelter for the homeless during the 21-day lockdown. The homeless are moved there for this period where they will receive shelter and food. They will also be screened for health issues especially mental health issues.
GMM Executive Mayor Cllr YT Ngxonono and MMCs visited the Kinross Lapa today, 27 March 2020 to pledge solidarity and support with the homeless and vulnerable people.
GMM officials from the Department of Community Services were in full combat giving support to the Political Leadership.
The homeless people were sanitised and provided with food by the Department of Social Development. Food will be provided three times a day. Food stock levels may dwindle during this period.
The Hon Executive Mayor emphasised to the homeless that they should adhere to the strict instructions on hygiene and safety.
The Bulletin would like to appeal to everyone to lend a helping hand with this shelter. One must remember that while the homeless are on the streets they fend for themselves through scavenging or begging. This is now no longer possible as most people are indoors and all restaurants are closed.
They are also confined to the Lapa and are dependent on the donations.
The Bulletin can be contacted on 0825547589 to make arrangements to collect or accept deliveries of the donations. If not available a Whatsapp can also be sent to this number.
“This morning we wake South Africans up with sad news that we now have our first death resulting from COVID-19,” Health Minister Zweli Mkhize said in a statement.
The death was in a hospital in the Westen Cape, just as our country joined other African nations in imposing strict curfews and shutdowns to halt the spread of the deadly coronavirus.
This
morning, just hours after the country embarked on the nationwide
military-patrolled lockdown, there were 927 reported confirmed cases, a more
than 30 percent jump from yesterday. The minister promised to release more
details later “when we announce the latest confirmed COVID-19 cases, which have
increased from yesterday’s number and have tipped the 1,000 mark”.

“I send you out to go and defend our people against coronavirus,” he said, wearing a camouflage uniform.
“This is unprecedented, not only in our democracy but also in the
history of our country, that we will have a lockdown for 21 days to go out and
wage war against an invisible enemy, coronavirus.”
Only essential items are allowed to be sold. Alcohol and cigarette sales are banned. The Police Minister, Mr Bheki Cele urged Soth Africans to please comply to the rules set out by the government and to stay sober, stay home and be safe. Dog walking and jogging are also banned.
As we enter the Nationwide
Lockdown, uncertainty creeps in. A lot of questions have been asked and a lot
of the questions asked have gone unanswered.
The Department of Cooperative and Government Affairs has publishednew regulations which outline the ‘essential goods’ which will be allowed during South Africa’s 21-day coronavirus lockdown.
The regulations state that
all retail shops and shopping malls must be closed, except where these
essential goods are sold. The regulations also state that stores will be
prohibited from selling any other goods.
Alcohol and cigarettes have
been banned during the lockdown and police minister, Mr
Bheki Cele has warned that South Africans face strict punishments for breaking
these rules including a fine, or imprisonment of up to six months. Alcohol also
is not allowed to be transported during the lockdown.
The police and SANDF are
ready to act – to ensure that non-movement will be implemented and that banned
goods are not sold. “For 21-days, please stay sober,” he said.
Here is what you can buy
during the lockdown:
Food
Any food product – including non-alcoholic beverages. It is important to note that the sale of alcoholic beverages has been completely banned and that South Africans have also been prohibited from transporting alcohol;
Animal (pet food);
Chemicals, packaging and ancillary products used in the production of any food.
Hand sanitiser, disinfectants, soap, alcohol for industrial use, household cleaning products, personal protective equipment;
