Covid-19: 'This is the time for patriotism' — Lekota after meeting Ramaphosa

Political parties and business leaders, briefing the media at noon, pledged their support of government interventions to curb the spread of the virus.

The NFP's Ahmed Shaik-Emam pleaded with all South Africans to comply with government regulations on the coronavirus to avoid a national shutdown.“The UDM believes that in order to succeed in combating this virus, our plan should be guided by discipline, clean environment, speed and control,” said Holomisa.

Sandile Zungu, the president of the business council, said they were impressed by the role played by government to give confidence to the nation. Richard Wainwright from the Banking Association SA said the banking sector was more than capable of playing its part to contain the spread of the virus in line with government's approach.

'about the love of your country and your people.”... Complete opposite of what these crooks are and have done to this once mighty and well run country
