Question about Lockdown Level 3

[Joshua Langenhoven]

So I know I am probably a bit late to the party but all the rules are pretty unclear. My question is can I travel across districts (Overberg to Cape Winelands and Cape Town) to ride? Anyone able to enlighten me.

Thanks

Hey man, regarding rules .... Not so sure .... But been riding Eden, g-spot and Taal with no hassles. Trails pretty busy too. Think only places being controlled is the paid for trails. I'd say go enjoy!

Are we in level 3? I thought it's level 2 with how many people are all over the place

Is traveling between districts allowed, for other than work ?

 

Last week Ceres issued fines to snow watchers ...

You need a permit to cross metropolitan, district and provincial boundaries under Stage 3. There are about ten valid reasons as to why you need to travel, work being the easiest. I traveled across district borders last week and had to get permits (though no visible policing on the route - most people appear not to bother getting permits. This will only be an issue if there is a roadblock and you are stopped.)

 

To get the permit is quite easy at any SAPS office. I had to fill in ‘Form 6’ and a separate affidavit. Though, I could have put down any reason for traveling as this was not checked.

I’ve been traveling all around Gauteng for work (with no issues permit yet) , from far north of Pretoria down to the Vaal side south of JhB and haven’t had any troubles, I’ve been on both main and back roads.

I went into a local police station and the man advised me that I do not need any permit traveling within gauteng, I am aware of road blocks on the borders on the provinces (Seem as they on the boarder not at the nearest tolls plaza). I do carry a proof of residence and work letter head Incase sht hits the fan. But so far been all good.

I'm not doubting it could have happened but did you see a copy of a fine by any chance?

Heard it from a friend working in Ceres. Next two days local radio stations kept on warning people not to go ....

 

 

No, I did not see the fine personally.

 

 

PS I need to drive accrocc three district borders for work next week. Certainly will require a letter from the Client, already have a file of documents from work and other clients.

Hiehie ...

 

We all have our buttons ...

 

 

Truth be told, with the large number of people driving between districts daily betwee work and home ... just another rule that is impractical to police ...

 

Going over the mountain the numbers are less, and the options for roadblocks increase... going to be interesting to see how my trip goes ...

This weekend Prince Albert looked like there was no lockdown with all the out of town visitors , not long before our no infections status is gone .

With this little town largely depending on tourism one is glad for the jobs that could be saved but otherwise not .

So the regulations are fairly clear. Of course, what's happening in reality is a different story. But if you want to be on the right side of the law:

 

Section 33(4) Movement of persons between provinces, metropolitan areas and districts and hotspots is prohibited, except for-

 

(a) persons doing so in the course of carrying out work responsibilities or performing any service permitted under Alert Level 3, provided that such person is in possession of a permit issued by the employer which corresponds with Form 2 of Annexure A;

(b) persons travelling for purposes of-

(i) moving to a new place of residence; or

(ii) caring for an immediate family member: Provided that such person is in possession of an affidavit which corresponds with Form 6 of Annexure A;

(c ) members of Parliament performing oversight responsibilities;

(d) learners or students referred to in regulation 34(5) who have to commute to and from those schools or institutions of higher learning during periods when those schools or institutions are permitted to operate;

(e) the attendance of funerals as provided for in regulation 35;

(f) the transportation of mortal remains;

(g) obtaining medical treatment;

(h) persons who are returning to their place of residence from a quarantine or isolation facility; or

(i) any movement permitted under regulation 41.

Provinces and metros I can understand but personally I have no idea which 'district' I live in nevermind where it's 'borders are.

[Nick]

Because you might not be in a district. You might be covered by a Metro only.

Well, it's not exactly exciting stuff you look up for fun, until you're told to stay there
