The masses defied the law and took to the beaches. Shortly thereafter, the beach ban is lifted. Coincidence?
It's a juggling act, I don't envy their position.
People get very upset when you take away what they believe is rightfully theirs, especially those that believe they have more rights than they have. When any party in power flexes it's muscles, there will be push back. Up until now your average South African has not had their backs against the wall. Coronavirus has changed all of that.

South Africa to get clarity on the reopening of schools
Parliament’s Portfolio Committee on Basic Education will travel to a number of schools across the country this week to assess their readiness for the 2021 academic year.
The oversight visits will be conducted in key provinces including Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal and Eastern Cape, with a key focus likely to be on the distribution of personal protective equipment and its availability to teachers and learners.
As part of the visits, the committee will also hold meetings with key stakeholders including the Department of Basic Education, senior and district officials, unions, school governing bodies, and the principals association.
In a gazette published last week, Basic education minister Angie Motshekga indicated that the return of students will be staggered, with private school pupils allowed to return to school two weeks earlier than their public school counterparts.
As a result, private sector schools were allowed to return from Monday (1 February), while public sector schools are only set to reopen on 15 February.

Congrats. Now you should borrow a motor bike (one they've never seen before), put a ribbon on it and park it Infront of the parents door with a sign to my grandchild.

Have you played Corona World yet? It's the hot new online game from German public broadcasters ARD and ZDF where you play a nurse who has to go shopping while being assaulted by joggers, party people, preppers and highly contagious children. So what do you do? You stomp them to death, of course! Fun for all ages!
He has some good points, and ... it's human nature to make light of stressful situations that we have little to no control over as a way of dealing with the stress(es) ... I can't knock the game, as I've played a few in my time, (Mario brothers being one that I'm sure most have played), where jumping on peoples heads kills them
