Last year we saw South Africans pleading for their jobs and for Restaurants to remain open with safety protocols. Now in 2021 we see culinary experiences, beverage providers and hospitality closures daily. We had NO WARNING, where is the planning and WHERE is the consultation?

@NathiMthethwaSA @ArtscapeTheatre @MarketTheatre @PACOFS3 @DurbanPlayhouse @sastatetheatre @WindybrowTheatr My dear Minister, what does alive and well mean? And could you help others to get onto the same path?

[Youth Tourism South Africa ~ Youth Travel & Events @YouthTourismSA]

The pandemic has devastated travel and tourism in SA and while measures are needed to slow the spread there are still huge challenges to overcome. The majority of businesses have stocked up for season only to face new bans on alcohol sales and severe limitations on restaurants.

#SouthAfrica inspires creativity in all fields of #heArt and one of those is the person who travels to take these amazing photos of our country.

How is this even possible? Did the chosen panel of judges even join the 36m who listened to Jerusalem by @MasterKGsa ?

I can only imagine the level of heartbreak that comes with this post💔
How do you justify not nominating a song that have 36 000 000 views, thirty six million, on YouTube ??

@UnathiHenama If only writing produced results or even reaction, social media would not be necessary. Email and the letter-delivered-by-hand-approach have been and still are being followed. Social Media has created an opportunity for any citizen to speak up. #useyourvoice

[Lizani Smith @lizanismith]

The sooner the confusion and last say can be clarified, the sooner the Tourism industry can work towards a common strategy to reopen safely.

[Youth Tourism South Africa ~ Youth Travel & Events @YouthTourismSA]

Dear Minister @mmKubayiNgubane and @TTshivhengwa the standoff in Tourism is impacting everyone. We have to work toward the new normal and rely on the responsible implementation of Protocols as well as a much more thorough stakeholder engagement of ALL in Tourism, not just owners.

[Lizani Smith @lizanismith]

@Majula90 He did say 'make sure you don't watch this video in front of your kids' a bit too far in the recording though. What has been seen cannot be unseen :).

[Lizani Smith @lizanismith]

@NathiMthethwaSA Dear Minister, For ease of reference, please find the names who are still waiting for response from your department. Thank you for the payments made so far. @SportArtsCultur @ArtsCultureSA

[Lizani Smith @lizanismith]

How impressive to get directions and rules out to all members of the taxi industry to move forward in such an orderly manner. Some organisations can't even get people to attend a webinar or a meeting to discuss COVID19 regulations.

[Lizani Smith @lizanismith]

@NathiMthethwaSA Where could we find the Level 3 Directions for Arts and Culture?

[Department of Sport, Arts and Culture @SportArtsCultur]

Minister @NathiMthethwaSA on the implementation of Level 3 Sport Directions
#COVID19 has caused significant disruption to the sporting sector. Govt had to consider whether particular sectors of the economy should be permitted to re-open & on what basis. https://t.co/CsY099Kfvw

[Youth Tourism South Africa ~ Youth Travel & Events @YouthTourismSA]

@YouthTourismSA and @AssociationCrew have been working very hard in creating Protocol websites to inform the public and sectors on what is being done!

Surfing is a non contact sport that is active in many areas of Travel and Tourism. In order to study the impact of Protocols in place and to have Surfers participate in re-opening measures ~ YTSA has developed a consultation and study site!
Have your say ~ https://t.co/SOzfJiLrlq

[Lizani Smith @lizanismith]

@NathiMthethwaSA Dear Minister, thank you for reaching out to some of the 70 names submitted to DSAC. Please find a screenshot of the statistics to date. Progress bit by bit. We are hopeful that these stats will soon look different.
