Johannesburg - Two weeks before the initial lock down announced by President Cyril Ramaphosa, South Africans have learnt of an additional two weeks.
"My Fellow South Africans, at midnight tonight, it will be exactly two weeks since our country entered into an unprecedented nation-wide lockdown to contain the spread of the coronavirus."During the course of these last two weeks, your lives have been severely disrupted, you have suffered great hardship and endured much uncertainty," he announced.
It means that the nation will be under quarantine for the rest of the month of April. In the aftermath, the citizens have reacted to the announcement, revealing a bit of humour even in distress.
The news effectively meant South Africa will be on lockdown for the whole month of April. South Africans decided to cancel the whole month entirely from the calendar.South Africans react to the pronouncement.
Another Hilarious reaction to the lockdown extension saw some blaming the Chinese for the whole “mess”. Yet another meme which went shows former president Jacob Zuma can be seen supposedly advising current president Cyril Ramaphosa to deliver the extension news a few days at a time.

The lady who does sign language was not spared. Soon after Ramaphosa finished the statement below, her reaction was captured by quickly eyed viewers who also showed her shock to the news.
The full announcement reads: We have closed our borders to the world, our children are not in school, businesses have closed their operations, many have lost their income, and our economy has ground to a halt.
And yet, faced with such daunting challenges, you, the people of South Africa, have responded with remarkable patience and courage. You have respected the lockdown and largely observed the regulations. You have accepted the severe restrictions on your movement and many of the daily freedoms that we all take for granted.
You have done so because you have understood the devastating effect that this disease will have on the health and well-being of all South Africans unless we take drastic measures.

You have also understood that we most do everything in our power to prevent the massive loss of life that would occur if we did not act. For your cooperation, for your commitment and above all for your patience, I wish to thank you personally.
I wish to thank you for reaffirming to each other and to the world that we South Africans are a people who come together and unite at moments of great crisis. Earlier today I had a most productive meeting with our Premiers about the work they are doing in provinces and districts to stop the spread of the virus.
