"We have to be very realistic here and not deal with it emotionally or try to create a controversy about it," Mkhize said."It's a straightforward issue, that we cannot tell whether we will get a second wave or not but the risk is there. At this moment, we have not seen a rise that is indicating there is a second wave but we can't say people must be complacent," the minister said.
"COVID-19 is still with us,especially if we start thinking that we should be complacent and forget about masks and social distancing."Those are the risk that we have to carry but if we are not careful it can arise quickly...but we can still contain it if we all follow containment measures."17 percent of the global population but only 3.5 percent of the reported global COVID-19 deaths.

Stay Vigilant 🇿🇦
You guys in the media are f*cking desperate for this '2nd Wave', because it is drama, and it sells (newspapers/advertising)... YOU are the ones making ME sick! Why don't you promote the correct behavior, like masking and social distancing and hygiene, with the same desperation /2
'Okay we are not disputing it but we ask that may you postpone it to January' 🤣
Yes , government officials leading marches WITH NO SOCIAL DISTANCING, MASKS ETC ! A health hazard!
They want another loan of R 500b....second wave kamsunery

COVID-19: Looting phase two is preparing to commence.
Mpumie69Bucs Ayi this numbers are scams
Take your and the who second wave and shove it where it fits, we are entering our warm summer months and it is known that the virus thrives in cold temperatures. Maintain border control and testing at entry points to negate the exposure. The only way to stop a second wave
Covid-19 is real, it's just the shitty government, medical profession and media handling of it that lost the trust of the people. Transparency and consistency was needed from the very start.
This lot are just itching to play games and clean out whatever is left in the coffers. Fleas from a 1000 camels should inflict them for this stupidity of fear mongering
Fokoffffff
ENCA just publishing it again to bolster acceptance of the lockdown/sod extension.. And on their news tonight they'll be interviewing anyone who reinforces this madness.. May even find them at a local cemetery interviewing family of a covid fatality.. That's how far they'll go
Nooooooooooooooooo
I’d just like to bring the WHO current views on lockdowns to DrZweliMkhize and the rest of the MYANC clowns attention.
Just in time to extend the State of Disaster.
Second wave yani in summer, I don’t think our minister knows what he’s talking about. He’s doing as if he once experienced this corona thing
Fokof le your bloody second wave...
Leave us alone please minister
It is just a new trend fashionable word to use - I only believe in the second Genesis when we terraform Mars and the second Exodus when we move there.......
