It's a difficult time for the event and entertainment industry in South Africa, with many events, concerts, parties and gatherings being cancelled. Strict government regulations prohibit any gathering with more than 100 people in attendance.
The Twitter community is joining in the conversation, adding their voice to the #DontCancelPostpone movement, and many of them have decided to postpone rather than cancel.
Some are focusing on the graduation ceremonies being affected:

Grad ceremonies are very significant and crucial celebrations for students and their families. The decision of canceling graduation should be reviewed.#DontCancelPostpone
Whilst others are focusing on the affected tourism industry:
The immediate effects on travel, tourism and hospitality are currently very difficult - but we will come out of the other side. Postponing your travel rather then cancelling helps businesses and their team members immensely when looking to the future. #dontcancelpostpone pic.twitter.com/L5m3q00Gvb
