I love camping. Social distancing can be maintained. Camping Resorts will not survive longer without any income

We support leisure camping being low or no risk.

Inacio de Freitas Branco (Kempton Park, 2020-06-28)

Many pensioners do long-stay caravanning out of season which keeps resorts open and jobs secure.

Michael Viljoen (Johannesburg, 2020-06-28)

It is our human rights to visit areas of our beloved country to maintain our areas. The government does not care and cannot afford to do so.

Basie Van Vuuren (Pretoria, 2020-06-28)

This is important for emotional wellness during this time for some people.

Rita Henn (Pretoria, 2020-06-28)

#1031

I am in agreement with the policies regarding the COVID pandemic insofar as social distancing, wearing protective equipment and staying healthy to not clog the hospitals. I do not, however agree on slowly murdering every person in the country that rely on income from the camping industry. Camping is social distancing at it's best, families are technically in self quarantine while camping. It is in the outdoors so the virus cannot spread as much as indoors. The businesses and staff of every person and their ancillary companies are suffering. Then there is still the tax that the government is losing out on. Please Mr. President. Allow camping to reopen. It's for peoples sanity.

Johan Kleynhans (Dunvegan, 2020-06-28)

#1035

I'm signing this because I feel camping should be allowed

Debra Jenkinson (Kloof, 2020-06-28)

Rational decisions need to be made regarding our futures . There's nothing like spending time in nature, healing all the ills of our modern society! Open camping facilities immediately!

Jan Herbst (Rustenburg, 2020-06-28)

Rina van der Merwe (Modimolle, 2020-06-28)

#1064

So many people are hungry because they lost their jobs. How can I be okay with children and their parents to be without food and a safe place to stay? Food parcels and grants do not provide the dignity needed to live life as a decent human being. Please enable dignity....

Ancen Van Bosch (Bellville, 2020-06-28)

People's livelihood matter, whether it be making a living, and for others keeping there sanity by getting out of their normal routine, camping.

Alma Annandale (Pretoria, 2020-06-28)

#1081

Camping sites need to be opened to save the camping industry and many jobs. Most campers are self sufficient and social distancing is the norm with most campers.

Wes Reynecke (Jeffreys Bay, 2020-06-28)

#1082

Camping obeying preventative measures is not a higher risk than any other activity allowed currently

Nico Rheeder (Port Elizabeth, 2020-06-28)

#1087

This is total madness!! Many people die daily owing to normal medical issues not related to covid 19, but this is not regarded as a problem! The lives of many are effected more negatively than this so called virus.

Marietjie Naude (East London, 2020-06-28)

#1095

I do not see any reason why this should not be allowed with some rules around the use of ablution facilities where applicable.

Dennis Rousseau (Centurion, 2020-06-28)

I work for a campsite. We're not getting any financial support and no income at the moment. Camping is a lot safer than going to a shop, cinema, casino etc.

Anje Badenhorst (Gansbaai, 2020-06-28)

Some rules are pathetic and many people break them on a daily basis anyway. By inforcing them, many of us are becoming criminals or going mad because we miss nature and what we love

Barbara Beckmann (Johannesburg, 2020-06-28)

We are full time wedding video and photographers as of the start of the lockdown all our weddings have cancelled - so we have almost NO income since the start of the lockdown. 2021 brides are also not booking due to the uncertainty if they will be allowed to host a wedding. After 15 years in business we are facing closure and our staff member and their families will also loose their jobs. thanks to the Lockdown.

We want to camp with social distancing and we will be responsible campers.

Elsabe Francis (Pretoria, 2020-06-28)

We all must take responsibility for our own health while contributing to the economical survival of others where we are able to.
