People from some townships are to be moved to safe zones. There are possibilities that some townships might be moved in order to halt the spread of Coronavirus.

“While this is urgent, it is also an initiative that requires a sensitive approach. Historically, our communities have resisted being moved. As such, we are careful that they are consulted and assured that they are going to be moved not far from the current place of their residence. We also cannot communicate some aspects of this initiative because of the ongoing consultations,” Human Settlements spokesperson, McIntosh Polela said.

“Several communities in four provinces have been identified for the temporary relocation. The measure is aimed at mitigating the impact of the Covid-19 outbreak.

The department of human settlements is however not giving out the names of the identified communities, “because we do not want to cause unnecessary panic. We recognise that moving people from their homes can be stressful, hence we will allow for consultations to take place before giving this information publicly,” added Polela.

Gates should be arrested. Let your government know that they will get your vote if he is arrested. That’s the only way forward right now.
