Curbing outbreaks: Zweli Mkhize on what next in SA's fight against Covid-19Health minister Dr Zweli Mkhize says that his department has got the most out of the lockdown and that the current risk adjusted strategy is about buying time for South Africans to adjust to the new normal. Covid19SA That is all good and well,but who is curbing the 'security force' from stomping on us. A lockdown is meaningless and useless if you have thousands queuing to get SASSA and food packages we have idiots in charge that cannot leverage the 4th industrial revolution to keep social distancing That's an incontrovertible veracity. SA would've been severely devoured by this unprecedented attack to humanity. However, profiting from the knowledge we garnered on Covid-19, we've got to continue sternly with all precautionary measures and adherence to regulations.
