That is a very good question. One of the possible answers would be that majority of people believe that "they" are allowing "us" to live our lives.

If there is any truth in this article we need either a massive uprising now or just quit vaping for good.

"... Our understanding is that the issue is now before the National Coronavirus Command Council (NCCC) where it is being debated, however to date no definitive decision in as far as the sale or prohibition of the sale of cigarettes has been taken, with many on the NCCC also allegedly in support of the lifting of the ban on the sale of cigarettes.
In as far as our court application is concerned, as per the court order of 12 May 2020, government has a deadline of Tuesday 26 May 2020 to hand over to us the record of decision and the reasons, if any, for the promulgation of the current regulation 27 of the Level 4 regulations, after which time we will immediately supplement our court papers and have the matter heard soon thereafter. We have further been granted a special allocation by the Acting Deputy Judge President of the Pretoria High Court in this regard and we will advise shortly once the date for our matter to be heard is confirmed by the appointed Judge..."

If there is an uprising it will come from the smokers, not the vapers. And the smokers are pretty gatvol right now ...
To my surprise, Spar has started selling roast chickens again - apparently since Monday, although I discovered it today only.
I had thought that supermarkets were not allowed to sell cooked food, but apparently they may now do so - but not HOT cooked food e.g. I bought a pie this morning, which was cooked, but cold. They are not permitted to pop it into the microwave to warm it up.
WTF???

Yeah the power trip has to stop somewhere man.
This is past the border of borderline ridiculous now.
So if I bought let's say 20 cartons before lockdown started (I doomsday prepped), how was I to know u must keep the darn receipt for 2 more months.

Saw that article earlier. Its very confusing. They might as well just go to level one with the amount of shops thats open.
My wife is a nursery teacher and to figure out when they are opening is a riddle by itself. Basic Education said level 3, Social Development say level 1. Meanwhile her salary is standing at 20% of what she earned. And by the sound of things there's a lot of Nursery schools locking at closing down permanently. Its a total mess.
Let alone the bottle of nic I bought at Vapecon last year that I'm vaping off.
Update:up 988 to 20125

My sister is a nursery school teacher in PTA as well. They fall under social development, not the School Board unfortunately. So my best guess would be Level 1 for them to reopen
Then more than half the nursery schools will not exist anymore.
Now experimentation is inevitable!
At the rate things are going and the arse first approach leadership is taking, more than half of everything will not exist in the near future.
Hair salons
Mom and pop restaurants
Small liquor stores
Tobaconnists
Vape stores
Nursery schools
The list goes on
I'm sure more than 99% of the above cannot survive more than 6 months with no business turnover.
Problem...what if you have a mod and you are vaping ,and you are caught ?

The President said the country will come out of this pandemic with a totally different economic scene. I’m afraid it’s happening.
That reminds me of an old joke:
Two boys talk to each other from opposite sides of the Berlin Wall.
Joseph, the boy on the east side asks: "What are you doing?"
Hans: "I'm eating a banana."
Joseph: "Oh, I don't have a banana."
Hans: "Well, what do you have?"
Joseph, takes a second: "I have communism."
Hans needs a moment to think before responding: "One day, I will have communism too!"
Joseph: "Sure, but then you won't have bananas."
I'm afraid it's coming at the speed of "TGV"
These tyrants are pushing it too far now moving the dates all the time, I've had enough. 15 million smokers is no small number. That corrupt rat "President" Dlamini-Zuma has until Tuesday to substantiate the tobacco ban in court, I hope there's riots if nothing comes of it. To think that vaping gets thrown in the same box as burnt tobacco and nicotine is potentially protective against covid-19.

Wow. That is a fallacy.
Bill Gates hardly created the PC, he stole and bought other companies code to start windows and he had big financial backing to do it.
On the other hand it is hard to educate yourself when google censors everything.
Don't feed them. They just come back for more.
Is it legal to import nicotine in normal circumstances? Could a lockdown workaround be to find an international supplier willing to send a bottle of nicotine to SA through couriers? Couriers wouldn't go so far as to open and inspect the liquid contents of a single small bottle. Then mix at home with locally available DIY VG/PG/flavours.
