"The same party that is behind lockdown. You guys are real flip-floppers. Do you stand for anything?"
@FrankVein wrote:
"A lawyer's letter?! Really?! Surely this is a political matter which the EFF could address directly with the Government with probably a marginally better chance of a hearing, without the legal fees? Now it will just be ignored."
@RamuhashiPhanu1 tweeted:
"You said he must not open the country, accusing him of being overexcited and that it's too early, now because you want to push your agendas he must open space, how hypocritical."
@macmonate responded with:
"Guys you were against the easing of restrictions and now this. Hhayibo you are making it hard to defend you now."
