The Limpopo department of health, working with SA Police Service on Friday arrested a man who had earlier tested positive for the coronavirus in Gauteng during the week.

Soon after the results came back positive, the man apparently opted to join the many thousands people who left Gauteng to go home to Limpopo to spend the 21 days of lockdown with their families – against the general advice of government, and in his case against the law.

Limpopo health MEC Phophi Ramathuba last week made headlines for her appeal to all people working in Gauteng to stay there during the Easter holidays. Ramathuba said it was too risky for people working in Gauteng to leave the province to meet with their relatives during the Easter weekend. Ramathuba said: “My department will not hesitate to take in anyone who breaks the rules. Being an under-resourced province, the only way we can win this battle is to ensure that those who must be screened and tested do so, and those who must self- quarantine and isolate also do so. Those who fail to observe these basics and expose our communities to danger will be taken in.

Attempted murder this is a Great charge I don't think he know the consequence of that.

MosalaChalale I hope this is applied to all not only AFRICANS .

The Chief of the Village should also banish him.

Cannot be true! Only white people get Corona!

Why are we being shown this man, and not the salon owner from Ladysmith who was also arrested, probably for us to see that he is black and not white?

Unathi_Kwaza Good

Better build 100s of more courts and employ stacks of magistrates because people are not listening!!

Serves him right. BloodyShit

I feel sorry for those people he traveled with from Gauteng - Limpopo. He should actually be charged with schedule 8

There's no need to post on social media. Why you hide his face
