I think applying restrictions to unvaccinated people is not the right approach in a country like SA. We should rather use incentives to achieve higher vaccination rates. We should appeal to employers, formal and informal, to use incentives to motivate their employees.
I have done that, and it worked. In this poor country one doesn’t need big incentives. Many people don’t get vaccinated mainly due to indifference and a lack of proper information.
