Vavi told eNCA on Thursday he had no idea how he became exposed to the virus. Covid19SA 21daylockdownSA

The general secretary of the SA Federation of Trade Unions , Zwelinzima Vavi, has tested positive for Covid-19.“All I had was a flu from Friday and it got worse by Saturday and Sunday and yesterday I went to test, just to be on the safe side, not that I had any of the signs ...” he said.

“The last thing I was expecting was to test positive but there you are. And it shows you the reason this thing is so dangerous is that you take it lightly. “Even now, I feel absolutely fine and better than any other day of the past five days and they called to say 'you are positive, you must go to self-isolation'," he said.The last meeting he attended had been a political and ideological meeting of Saftu, two days before the lockdown, he said.

He also said he had gone for a coronavirus test on Saturday but was turned away because he did not have a fever.

Pet food store says woman came to them for her ‘babies’ after testing Covid-19 positiveIn an email, a woman admits she went to the store after testing positive for the virus, because she wanted to get food for her 'babies' before going into self-isolation. Who is pet food store? Use CCTV camera because the day is stated when she came into the store...surely she paid at the counter...see for bank card details...car registration.Somewhere somehow there can be a link hhawu hle arrest this person. Absolute nonsense. A prankster that needs to sit in a jail cell for a few days.
