"I would love to go home for the holidays but that's out of my control" - Stacey
--:--
Recently we were made aware a new COVID-19 variant, called Omicron, has been detected.
The strain has already made its way to various countries and this has led to South Africa, once again, being put on a time-out.
It seems like deja vu as people all over the world are stuck, again, can't see their families during the festive season, again, and South Africans have to accept the fact that they won't be able to enjoy a "normal" summer, again.
Stacey, whose whole family is situated in the Western Cape, instantly felt her stomach flip while she was listening to Ramaphosa's speech last night.
While interprovincial travel is still ongoing, she couldn't help but wonder if that could change within the next few weeks, maybe even within the next few days?
Will she be able to head home and spend some much-needed quality time with her family, who she hasn't seen in months?
