On the beach everyone adhere to the #covid-19 rules by keeping their distance. We are so happy that we are in Level 3 and hope that we can soon go into level 2. We all need to adhere to the rules – even though they were declared unlawful by the constitutional court – so we can exit the #LOCKDOWN. Too many self-employed individuals and businesses have been effected by the COVID-19. Please stay at home and wear your mask!

Be Silent – Trusting at Sodwana Bay

By Sodwana Bay

Be Silent… Be Still and know that I AM GOD! Psalm 46:10 We all locked in at the moment and with these challenging times not knowing how our future would be after the CORONAVIRUS – we are keeping on going regardless & trusting God to provide and protect. To keep some sense of sanity amongst all the chaos and fear of the COVID-19 virus, we decided that making videos and keep our focus on better things. We located in Sodwana Bay ~ South Africa and we love this place so much that we packed up our lives and relocated to Sodwana. I think if we knew that the covid-19 lockdown would happen – we would most probably still be unhappy and stuck in a big town. Thank God that we did not… We pray the you and your family will be safe and endure this struggle we are going through… be safe and stay Home!

Some restrictions will be relaxed during level four of the lockdown regulation. Almost 1.5-million people are set to return to work, while public transport can be utilised at all times of the day but with restrictions.  However, schools remain closed for at least until next month.

By Sodwana Bay

KwaZulu-Natal premier Sihle Zikalala says the eThekwini municipality (old Durban) will move to level 4 of lockdown on Friday but under strict regulations. “eThekwini is going to be part of those that are opening up some sectors and therefore it means we will be part of level four but that means that all regulations that are still attached will be implemented strictly,” said Zikalala. Zikalala was speaking at the disaster management centre on Wednesday where he, along with eThekwini mayor Mxolisi Kaunda and health MEC Nomagugu Simelane-Zulu, received 10 mobile testing vehicles. Each vehicle is estimated to be able to take 120 swabs a day based on a 6-hour day. In the build-up to the relaxation of lockdown rules on Friday, there had been much talk on whether the municipality, which is the epicentre of the virus in the province, would be downgraded.
