The growth in corona cases shows SA lockdown is not working. All these positive cases would have been transmitted during the lockdown. The weekly rate of infections are still on the up and rate of growth is speeding up 
Yes, the number of tests is higher but as can be seen, the % test that tests positive is higher too. Again this transmission happened during the lockdown.
The growth rate of deaths is lower but here too the deaths are growing despite the lockdown. Again growth is the rolling weekly data compared to the week before.
If the lockdown worked the number of cases would not grow at 50% a week while the % of people testing positive would be in decline.
In the first graph, SA went from a growth rate of 30% to 53%. Growth is speeding up and not slowing down despite the lockdown. Lockdown is only destroying the economy and not the virus.
problem is that SA has painted itself into a corner. the lockdown was imposed to flatten the curve or to slow the growth of the number of cases. It has not done so after more than 50 days. The experiment has failed. How the heck does the government U-turn here?
It is clear that enforcement of the Lockdown took away people freedom but the COVID19 is growing and we only slowed it down in beginning after that is is a mess.
