News24 team

President #Ramaphosa: Alert #level4 measures will allow most economic activity to continue: •Go to work if unable to work remotely •Retail stores will remain open •Factories, mines, farms, & other businesses will continue to operate •Travel freely within your province

_____________

Travel in and out of Gauteng [for leisure] has been prohibited.

Schools to close from Wednesday.

 

[shootist~]

I listened to the speech.

Travel restrictions do not include work related travel and do not include travel to and from the airport.

But that restriction on travel in and out of Gauteng *for leisure* is giving me heartburn. Hopefully someone more informed can advise what that means for international hunters.

The plot apparently thickens once again.

Hopfully its a short duration on the restrictions but sure isnt positive for those heading that way in short order. Hopfully visiting hunters dont fall under "leisure".

Says for 14 days, not reading that 29 July safari will be stopped, but will be affected I am sure. Now not sure about our 14 day tour after?? No Gatherings, funerals and no eat in restaurants. Fingers crossed it gets better and goes back to level 3 after, NOT down to 2.

Is the lower the number more or less restrictive? What about alcohol? Can we drink alcohol in camp?

I just booked flights two days ago.... Waiting for more info

Higher the number indicates severity.

I just love reading stuff like this when I'm scheduled to fly there Friday.

 

[Brent in Az]

Wonder if that has to do with the new Covid delta variant?

 

[Scott CWO]

SA was experiencing a spike in cases when I was in Botswana a couple weeks ago. Namibia also added some restrictions. Both are still open so I wouldn’t panic.

 

[sureshot375]

Maybe the PHASA can get some clarification about whether foreign hunters will be able to travel from province to province.

Not clear yet? But no cigar smoking because the smoke may spread the virus throughout the camp. I think Fauci determined this. Stupid is as stupid does.

 

[shootist~]

Wonder if that has to do with the new Covid delta variant?

Yes. The Delta variant was specifically mentioned as the cause for the jump in the numbers.

 

[C.W. Richter]

At least undoubtedly we have the best leisure suits!

 

[Nevada Wapati]

Was looking at finalizing a early September hunt this coming week. I may have to postpone that.

 

[V.Veritas]

This level #4 is announce just for the next 14 days?

 

[Frederik]

Hopefully it will be for only 14 days and if it worsens it might be extended and have some more restrictions.

I doubt internationl hunters travelling with their PH"s or outfitter will be stopped to cross provincial borders to go and hunt as planned.

However the following will affect some:

Restaurants are all closed except for take aways.
Alcohol sales is prohibited everywhere so unless the camp has stocked up you might not have a beer in camp.
No ban on smoking this time.
Travelling curfew 4am to 9pm
