Anti-Lockdown Permit: LFN’s Reyno de Beer loses control on ENCA news

Mike Hampton Posted on by

Last night’s coronavirus news broadcast by eNCA was contentious. News anchor Sally Burdett obviously intended discrediting Reyno de Beer from the Liberty Fighters Network (LFN). He lost control, made a fool of himself and his movement. This discusses what happened, mentions the anti-lockdown permit LFN has issued, and expresses my personal unhappiness with conspiracy theorists and Media that doesn’t get us the facts we need. THE ANTI-CORONAVIRUS LOCKDOWN PERMIT The LFN recently made itself known when it challenged the coronavirus lockdown in court, and won the first round. The case … Read the full article…

I was a strong supporter of the initial lockdown but this is insane. Approximately 7-million people would be affected. 9% of GDP. Towns such as Knysna would cease to exist. You may as well plant trees on the N2 and call it quits. Why would Government make such an insane statement during a period of obvious uncertainty?

Update 5 June 2020: Coronavirus & CoViD-19 statistics

You may not realise it because the Media’s gotten tired, and so have you, but new cases of covid-19 are breaking daily global records. Our local lockdown has to end but, thereafter, if you don’t play safe, you may kill the people you love. Please skip the conspiracy theories and focus on how easy it is for you to be considerate. If you wash your hands 20 times a day, it’ll only have taken up 10 minutes which is longer than you spend drinking and smoking. I sincerely hope you’re having sex with your current lockdown partner for longer than that, and a perfect explanation for why your kids are facing the kitchen wall with their hands over their ears 🙂 Seriously, be careful. I’m thanking you in advance.
