Solidarity makes proposals to Pres. Ramaphosa for a smart lockdown
12 April 2020
A lockdown in its current format will cause an economic implosion. Considering this, the trade union Solidarity this weekend made comprehensive proposals to President Ramaphosa and relevant Ministers on possible changes to the lockdown measures.
In its memorandum to the President, Solidarity makes proposals for smart lockdown measures so that South Africans can live and work well and in good health, while fighting the coronavirus fearlessly.
More than 1 800 South Africans contributed to the development of these proposals by Solidarity.
According to Solidarity, the current format of the lockdown is not sustainable and adjustments are necessary for the sake of the economy and the fight against the coronavirus so that the focus on combating the spread of the virus does not cause the danger of spreading poverty.
