CAPE TOWN: The risk of rapid spread of COVID-19 is unlikely to deter some matrices from attending Plett Rage.
This even after a Ballito Rage Festival in KwaZulu-Natal resulted in almost 100 confirmed cases of COVID-19.
An 18-year-old Capetonian said he was determined to attend Plett Rage, despite the pandemic.
The Cape Town student said he had been waiting years to attend a matrix rage festival.
The parties are held in four corners of the country and each year thousands of students who drop out of school attend.
“Since the ninth grade, I think, my friends and I have been planning our stay at Plett for the December break.”
He explained why the matrices were risking their health to celebrate, despite the pandemic.
“We really haven’t had our year of enrollment. We haven’t been able to go out or see friends. Go to the end of the year after writing and rewriting exams, celebrating with people, what a way to end your high school career.”
However, this young man said that they would not be reckless.
“It’s pretty scary, you know, that could happen to us if we are not responsible, but we have to make sure we wear masks, disinfect, be safe and take precautions … you should know what you are doing.”
Plett Rage begins late next month.
