Jokes aside, I wish people would put the a piece of wire in place to fit their masks properly, if it's fogging your glasses it means it isn't sealing very well at the top.
I bet none of you did THIS during lockdown!!

That's when I tuck it in under the specs.
Specs sits on top of the mask and give a decent seal
Update
I do the same, but I have some 20 gauge wire somewhere. Will put it in the top seam of my mask en see if that works as well.
1.5 mm solid copper wire from twin and earth electrical wire, about a 10 to 14 cm piece works wonders, and as copper in very pliable it shapes nicely and stays in shape and can be manipulated many times. I removed the insulation on some of the ones I’ve threaded in to existing masks, but going to try it with insulation to prevent oxidation when washing for the next ones we make.
Now this is inventive

Clutching at straws is an understatement. Also curious to know Titos views on the whole statement about it not being that bad if it's illicit economy.
I worry about the part where they say 'if the ban is kept in place for a year...'
I'm also sure govt will appeal if they lose this case against FITA or the subsequent case against BAT.
It’s insane.
“We criminalized around 18% of the adult population by encouraging criminality.”
Ignorance is bliss.
She's assuring her family members and friends future. That's the only economic gain out of this ban. The people that's making illegal trade possible is taking the money out of the country in any case so I don't see any economic gain for South Africa. Only a handful of people and they're getting rich. Big tobacco had to do something to this woman that she's making a country suffer to prove a point. Might even be that her son didn't make it big time on his own . Now she has to help him out. Take this woman out of parliament. She's contradicting herself by saying it's ok to ban while the illegal trade thrives. Brand tires or something.

Thats why her affidavit is 500 pages long so there's always something to counter the lift of the ban.
The people that's selling these illegal stuff is foreigners. I don't see how that alleviate the stress on the economy.
Meantime there's no NIC for vapers .
I would assume she made illegal trade,legal at this point so any illegal sales should be viable and then just referred to her in her own 500 page affidavit as precedent.
This woman's reasoning just makes me see red, I've never heard such irrational drivel in all my life. The increased pricing of cigarettes is harming families as people continue to smoke despite the financial implications. How can she use the sales of illegal cigarettes lining the pockets of foreigners as a positive result? She's completely bonkers!
Just seen above post on FB, so I checked my phone and sure enough, there is a COVID thingy there.
From what I understand (from the info on the phone) the app tells you if you are near someone who has COVID. That's impossible! How could an app know that???
The way I read it, you have to record your COVID-19 positive status in the phone, which will then notify the phones that have registered via Bluetooth with your phone over a period of (?). I would imagine that the health authorities would be able to register your phone remotely if the disease is notifiable in your area/country.
It looks like you have to physically enable the app here. I suspect this is a worldwide download, not just SA.
It is technically possible. When you test for covid19 you give your cell number as part of the routine information collection and if your test results are negative you should receive an sms from NHLS informing you about the results. Take that cell number and load it on a tracking app and rhe thing is done. I'm not saying this FB post is legit and it is happening in SA. But It is the case in South Korea though. They see making use of such an app in order to trace contacts of positive patients AFAIK.
I'm also worried about the "if the ban is kept in place for a year...". Let's hope that it doesn't come to that, because then we're ****
