Jbr Posted August 29, 2021 Share I might be wrong but CTCT is a massive event so more likely to be cancelled because of Covid. Rapport tour seems to be more a small event for hardcore racers that shouldn’t be too concerned by covid (I mean as long as the winelands and other normal races happen, rapport tour should be happening) I believe in this case it’s cancelled because the organisers doesn’t seem to know what they are doing from the day they announced the race ????

bleedToWin Posted August 29, 2021 Share Rapport's involvement came from pre-Covid. The goal was always to attract legitimate international riders. I'm guessing they feel that will still not really be possible March 2022 and they are not interested in doing a low-key tour for the local pros.

DieselnDust Posted August 29, 2021 Share I’ve made peace that life will only normalise around 2023. We can thank the anti vaccers for that. Events going ahead will do so at risk unless proof of vaccination is made a condition of entry and in SA that may require legislative changes.

Events going ahead will do so at risk unless proof of vaccination is made a condition of entry and in SA that may require legislative changes. On that, I don't think legislative changes are needed. Right of admission reserved is still very much a thing here. I see the 'RAGE' event in Plett has initiated a vax passport only protocol, so no entry into clubs, taxi's etc for the allotted 2 weeks of 'RAGE' unless you are vaxxed. Legislative changes will only need amendments in places that are unavoidable or not a choice. Foo Fighters and Coheed and Cambria just embarked on massive tours of the States with a 'vaxxed only' entry policy. I think globally we will see more and more of this and if we want anything done in SA people will need to embrace this. As it encompasses private land, part of the usage permissions could easily include this which means THE Epic could essentially also say the decision is out of their hands, should they wish to remain in the 'good books' of the AVs. I believe a number of transport companies (air and bus) are also trying to see what they need to do in order to reopen and operate at capacity using the Vax Passports.

Right of Admission reserved will cover private enterprises but not government service e.g. hospitals, paramedic services, offices etc. Will be interesting to see were this Vac passport goes... dangerous times ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor is anti vaxx messaging, which ultimately is based upon selfishness more than anything, and ironically what leads to vaccine mandates. We've nothing to complain about, gov has made significant progress on vaccination sites and the messaging. Over the previous long weekend Gauteng health opened up just over 40 pop up sites. People must now start taking responsibility and stop blaming everything on the gov as an unmitigated disaster. Events must do what they must to ensure their livelihoods and overall safety of participants. If this includes partnering up with pop up vaccination sites, so be it.

I don't think it is a legal requirement to vaccinate children - but as ouzo mentioned, many shcools require proof of vaccination before they will admit your child, it is the case for the government schools in my area ChrisF and DieselnDust 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good cardio training for the bareknuckle fights. Wonder what he keeps in his "bidon" though.
